I am using Arch Linux.
I am trying to program AVR chips with a Kanda branded avrisp programmer via avrdude (or any program short of writing my own.)
The chip is in this dev board: http://www.kanda.com/products/Kanda/STK200.html although in the slim chance the board is doing something crazy, I have also tried programming the chip straight from the isp.
When I plug in the programmer, FTDI shows up in dmesg output:

The programmer is known to work, as I just used it to program the attiny2313 in win xp, a process I don't feel I need to do since I can develop and compile on linux or mac os x (with which I don't even get a new device in /dev )
I have tried every programmer on avrdude's list with the most common response being 'timeout' and 'programmer not responding'.
I have tried overriding the speed from 2400-115200
I have tried adding various udev rules both found on the internet and written by me. Does the OS need something more to be able to talk to the attiny2313 via the USB-Serial converter?
I am at a loss as to what to do now and need some help troubleshooting this. I know it's not rocket science.
I have read countless posts and searched for hours now and still 0 progress has been made.
What info can I provide to help troubleshoot?
Why is avrdude just not "seeing" it?
