Hi Philip, I know kd85.com but that wouldn't help with Alix boards - they only have one COM port. I read that the PL-2303 driver is already included into the Linux 2.6 kernel: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 Would it be possible to include it/activate it in Astlinux? >Michael Keuter wrote: >> Hi list, >> >> is it possible to use an USB2Serial-adapter with an Soekris or Alix board? >> I know the Soekris have a 2nd port (I need for MWI to a legacy PBX) >> but I then have to drill a hole, and I like to try an Alix 2D3 in the >> future. >> >> This is what I get on a net4801 with the adapter (PL-2303) plugged in: >> ----------------- >> dmesg | grep usb >> usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs >> usbcore: registered new interface driver hub >> usbcore: registered new device driver usb >> usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice >> usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 >> usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice >> usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage >> usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev >> usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid >> drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver >> ------------------ >> ll /dev/*usb* >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 0 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.1 >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 253, 0 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.1_ep00 >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 253, 1 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.1_ep81 >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 1 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.2 >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 253, 2 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.2_ep00 >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 253, 4 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.2_ep02 >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 253, 3 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.2_ep81 >> crw-rw---- 1 root root 253, 5 Dec 20 2008 /dev/usbdev1.2_ep83 >> ------------------ >> lsusb >> Bus 001 Device 005: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc.
