I bought this Connectland usb/serial connector to configure my Cisco routers. Since now I’m using Ubuntu, this Linux just picks up the connector.
[4309733.840000] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
[4309733.936000] pl2303 2-2:1.0: PL-2303 converter detected
[4309733.940000] usb 2-2: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Then I installed minicom.
$ sudo apt-get install minicom
Run the minicom program and using command CTRL-a z o (inside minicom) to configure the minicom serial port. Make sure the configuration look like this.
A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyUSB0
B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock
C - Callin Program :
D - Callout Program :
E - Bps/Par/Bits : 9600 8N1
F - Hardware Flow Control : Yes
G - Software Flow Control : No
Save the configuration with whatever name you want. In this case is “cisco”.
Next time you want to configure your router using minicom, just type “minicom cisco”

it sounds like you've found the cisco stuff pretty well compatible with ubuntu. i'm thinking about getting a Cisco switch to play with at home, but i'm worried about how well i'll be able to use it with linux.
