Re: [Linux-usb-users] Samsung usb data cable

[Munir Nassar]

I have done some more research and it seems that the chip used in this 
cable is a SiLabs CP2101. Not much information is available for that 
chip, the company claims to have drivers available for linux, but from 
what i have found in the documentation the drivers are in binary only 
form for redhat9. but the documentation is old so that may have changed. 
Also the drivers only seem to come with the CP2101 evalkit, which is 
priced at $49.99.

while it is much easier and cheaper for me to just buy the serial cable, 
i am willing to donate several of these eval kits to developers willing 
to work on the driver, updating it and working to incorporate it into 
the mainstream kernels. Provided of course that SiLabs is willing to 
release the drivers they currently have under the GPL.

I am not a kernel hacker, i am not even a programmer or i would attempt 
to do this myself. Is anybody here willing to go for this? please? i'll 
throw in a a twelve pack of good german beer and a large pizza for the 
first person(s) who get the driver to work under the 2.6 kernel  :)

[Linux-usb-users] Samsung usb data cable

[Munir Nassar]

Hi,
I just purchased a USB data cable for my Samsung e715, unfortunately i 
am unable to get it to work under linux.

Does anybody know which module to use with this device? i tried cdc-acm 
and usbserial and niether worked. probably because it is an interface 
device and not a modem or serial port.

If this cable will not work, does anybody know of a brand of cables that 
will? This phone uses the same type of cable as most Samsung GSM phones.

Here is the listing from /proc/bus/usb/devices:
T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=10ab ProdID=10c5 Rev= 1.00
S:  Manufacturer=Silicon Labs
S:  Product=usb data cable
S:  SerialNumber=0001
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=03(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
any help would be much appreciated.
