Hi , I've a laptop pc (Joybook r23e BENQ) with no serial port , so I'd like to use an USB to serial converter .
I've bought one named "HL-340" but my UBUNTU 7.04 Feisty Fawn doesn't recognize it.Please does anyone knows how to fix this problem?
I need it to connect via "minicom" to an ARM board running LINUX.
I've tried the command lsusb which has produced the following output:

Bus 001 Device 016: ID 4348:5523

Can I fix this problem If I install a newer distro ?
Thank you very much.
