I meant to say: 'firmware sources'. The Keyspan device driver *is* open-source, and, I believe, was written by (or with assistance from) the manufacturer. This is why I purchased this particular gizmo. Firmware is what programs up the chipsets inside the device. By studying what registers are being written to, it would make it easier to reverse-engineer the hardware. I have another USB<>RS232 converter (USB1000 single-port ) based on the FTDI chipset, which doesn't require a firmware download and works with out-of-the-box Debian 3.1 Wilbert, ZL2BSJ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hams" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
