2014-11-24: testing an Arduino Nano v3.0 compatible which I bought from FastTech (SKU 1001002) the label on the packaging reads "01112". It comes with a blue USB to mini-B usb cable. When connected to my Linux laptop, the blue LED lights up, and the white LED blinks.

in /var/log/messages it shows up as:

Next, in Arduino IDE (1.0.5) I select "Arduino Nano w/ATmega328" from Tools, Board, and /dev/ttyUSB0 from Tools, Serial Port. I compile and upload my modified blink example. It works - test ok.
