Woops! My bad on that. I was writing from memory. Of course, there is a
good README in that archive as well :)

In my iBook, it works like this:
If it's plugged into USB1 ( which I refer to as the one closest to the
front of the iBook ), you'll get these:
(zbir_at_nic-125-c40-225 ~) $ ls -l /dev/tty.Key*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 8, 14 Feb 22 17:09 /dev/tty.KeyUSA28X11.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 8, 16 Feb 22 17:09 /dev/tty.KeyUSA28X11.2
and if it's plugged into USB2 ( behind it ), you'll get these:
(zbir_at_nic-125-c40-225 ~) $ ls -l /dev/tty.Key*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 8, 18 Feb 22 17:10 /dev/tty.KeyUSA28X21.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 8, 20 Feb 22 17:10 /dev/tty.KeyUSA28X21.2
The .1 and .2 refer to the port on the adapter only.
