What log should I grep? I'm not very familiar with the logs yet...
I just grepped every file in /var/log/ which was probably quite stupid 
since the output had 3000 lines...
(searching for the words brltty) (ignoring case)

I can, however, when the cable is removed ttyUSB1 does not exist, but 
ttyUSB0 does. When I plug in the cable ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 both exist.
Do you know why this could be?
I have a serial port pluged in and some other cables, but nothing usb...

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
