Did you reboot after installing the driver?

Yes - I rebooted after installing a few times actually. And I'm pretty certain I had the correct settings as I have been working with Cisco console connection for many a year. :-)

@Michael - yes I've been using the their USB cable with the small end at the router. Any thought if a regular USB cable might work - using the larger USB connection on the firewall?

No. The older ASA's used those ports for moving files to and from the internal flash storage. On newer ASA's they actually use the USB port for an extension of the flash to storage data, even in an ongoing manner. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Thanks. Back to the classic USB adapter. I was hoping to step into the new age!

I'll keep an eye on this question. If we figure out what the pattern is to working vs. not working, we'll post it back here.
