 That's the problem, the chipset has the same id although it's design has

 What does usbdevs -v say? You'll have a line like:
 USB-Serial Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
 
 Rev. 3.00 ist the latest I have, the former was 2.02. Maybe they 
 once again 
 designed a new chipset...
 

Here's my usbdevs output
USB-Serial Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00

uplcom a callin only device?

2005-06-29 Thread Norbert Koch
Hello.

I'm trying to get a sub-to-rs232 adaptor running with FreeBSD-5.
The vendor of this adaptor is some chinese company named
High-Edge Tech, but as usbdevs shows, it identifies as
  USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC(0x067b) and USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303(0x2303).

For testing, I connect the adaptor with the same computer's cuaa0 and
do an 'stty speed 9600 clocal' on /dev/ucom0 and /dev/cuaia0.

Now, if I do 'cat  /dev/ucom0' and 'cat  /dev/cuaa0', I see typed
characters coming in. If I try the opposite direction, nothing happens.
Is that something, I should've expected, and if so, why?

Does it have to do with the difference of callin and callout 
devices? Can I use /dev/ucom0 only as callin device like /dev/ttyd0?

Thanks,
Norbert

There are different versions of the prolific chipset and unfortunately they 
changed the init sequence of version 3.00 and up without changing the 
device ID (If you're interested for more check the archives (current) 
arround January 21st).

5.4 has the new uplcom driver which checks the revision maybe you can apply 
the cvs version to your 5.3 (guess).
