[BRLTTY] Using Braillenote mPower with brltty on ubuntu

[vikash.kesarwani at kritikalsolutions.com]

Hi,

I tried to connect to the BrailleNote with following command-

sudo brltty -bbn -d/dev/ttyUSB0

but it does not connect. I keep getting no driver found error.
Does brltty still support BrailleNote mPower ?

Thanks & Regards,
Vikash Kesarwani
