Here's a contribution to the FAQ.  I don't see any way to edit the FAQ myself.

Q) How do I make Linux recognize my USB connected cell phone as /dev/ttyUSBX ?

A) First, determine the manufacture and product ID:
/sbin/lsusb | fgrep Motorola
Bus 004 Device 006: ID 22b8:2b44 Motorola PCS

Next, create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/<my_device>.options

alias usb:v22B8p2B44* usbserial
options usbserial vendor=0x22b8 product=0x2b44

Not capital letters in the hex ids for the first line, and lower case case in 
the second line.

When you reboot, the usbserial driver should create
/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB1

Thanks to Paul Lotus, for publishing this information on

If someone would give me write access to the Wiki, I'll add this to the FAQ.
