** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source I don't know other way to submit a patch, so it goes via bug report. If there is a more correct way to do so please give me a note. I enclose a simple (3 line) patch to enable the Sanwa PC5000 multimeter usb cable (KB-USB2). It contains a popular Prolific 2303 chip but with different vendor&product ID. The patch was tested on ubuntu kernel 2.6.20. After applying the path the cable is detected, /dev/ttyUSBx is allocated and the communication is taking place without errors. - The patch: - - diff -rc linux-source-2.6.20/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c linux-source-2.6.20-mod/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c - *** linux-source-2.6.20/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c 2006-12-14 01:58:58.000000000 +0100 - --- linux-source-2.6.20-mod/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c 2007-03-31 20:58:33.000000000 +0200 - *************** - *** 83,88 **** - --- 83,89 ---- - { USB_DEVICE(BELKIN_VENDOR_ID, BELKIN_PRODUCT_ID) }, - { USB_DEVICE(ALCOR_VENDOR_ID, ALCOR_PRODUCT_ID) }, - { USB_DEVICE(HUAWEI_VENDOR_ID, HUAWEI_PRODUCT_ID) }, - + { USB_DEVICE(SANWA_VENDOR_ID, SANWA_PRODUCT_ID) }, - { } /* Terminating entry */ - }; - - diff -rc linux-source-2.6.20/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.h linux-source-2.6.20-mod/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.h - *** linux-source-2.6.20/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.h 2006-10-02 17:39:23.000000000 +0200 - --- linux-source-2.6.20-mod/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.h 2007-04-01 16:09:37.000000000 +0200 - *************** - *** 97,99 **** - --- 97,104 ---- - /* Huawei E620 UMTS/HSDPA card (ID: 12d1:1001) */ - #define HUAWEI_VENDOR_ID 0x12d1 - #define HUAWEI_PRODUCT_ID 0x1001 - + - + /* Sanwa KB-USB2 multimeter cable (ID: 11ad:0001) */ - + #define SANWA_VENDOR_ID 0x11ad - + #define SANWA_PRODUCT_ID 0x0001 - + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Apr 1 21:27:32 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 Uname: Linux discovery 2.6.20.3-ubuntu1-usbtest #1 SMP Sun Apr 1 10:44:56 CEST 2007 i686 GNU/Linux -- [PATCH] Enable to use a Sanwa PC5000 multimeter usb cable https://launchpad.net/bugs/99885 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
