Hello, I have (2) different usb->serial converters, both of which are listed when I build the drivers->usb->serial-converter in a 2.6.17-r8 kernel:
USB Serial Converter support USB Generic Serial Driver USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver (EXPERIMENTAL) USB HP4x Calculators support USB Xircom / Entregra Single Port Serial Driver here I show everything selected in this section> so I build a new kernel make && make modules_install and boot off the new kernel. All looks find from the subsequent dmesg(snipped for brevity) usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:13.1-3 drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registere for generic drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Detected FT232BM usb 2-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usbcore: registered new driver ftdi_sio drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for hp4X usbcore: registered new driver hp4X drivers/usb/serial/hp4x.c: HP4x (48/49) Generic Serial driver v1.00 drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Keyspan PDA drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Xircom / Entregra PGS - (prerenumeration) usbcore: registered new driver keyspan_pda drivers/usb/serial/keyspan_pda.c: USB Keyspan PDA Converter driver v1.1 lsusb reveals: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c01b Logitech, Inc. MX310 Optical Mouse Bus 003 Device 002: ID 22b8:2a62 Motorola PCS Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1645:8003 Entrega [hex] Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd 8-bit FIFO Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 So it all looks fine. Next I configure minicom... I have mincom working on regular 9pin serial ports on multiple systems. I know my cabling, and 8N1, 9600 baud and no hard/soft FC work to the serial port on the test (cisco) device. So I know that minicom is installed and the etc/minicom/minirc.dfl match with system that work. So my best guess the problem is the port device driver, converter device or the port setting in /etc/mincom/minirc.dfl I've tried all of these with the ftdi device: pr port /dev/ttyUSB0 pr port /dev/bus/usb/002 pr port /dev/bus/usb/002/002 Any suggestions are most welcome. The Entrega device was not plugged in during the reboot so it does not show up in dmesg. The Entrega device is the other device I have, but all attempts with it fail also....I did notice the device has the name Entrega printed on it and the kernel uses the name Entregra, but, I was hoping they're the same? ideas?
