I had a similar issue with the KeySpan USB/Serial device.   I had
to edit the config file to add the /dev/tty.KeySerial1 device so that
it would show up in the drop down.

Does the device show in /dev/ttyXXXXXXX

I know that in the fldigi  prefs.xml there is a XMLRIGDEVICE that
you can set to the serial port.

The brain is a fog.  This may have been some other piece of software.
