Public bug reported: I installed a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 64 bits in a new Asus I7 A55A. Standard install . All run perfect. I connect a USB-Serial adapter model HL340, it has pl2303 chip but NEVER appear the /dev/ttysUSB0 device.
In other machines I found inmediatelly a new /dev/ttyUSB0 and all work perfectly. I see in dmesg, signal that a device is connected usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_and address 3 But in the Asus i7 the device never appear. I run # lsusb Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 036: ID 2773:0104 .......... Bus 002 Device 036: ID 2773:0104 and see others devices (v 1.1, v2 and v3) BUT I don't see the device. I read near 100 internet pages and Found this # modprobe pl2303 vendor=0x4348 product=0x5523 --force And I found it in # lsusb Bus 003 Device 003: ID 4348:5523 WinChipHead USB->RS 232 adapter with Prolifec PL 2303 chipset But again, i never found the /dev/ttysUSB0 I have some dudes: * the hardware is HL340, but the module should be usbserial? pl2303? both? * i used the --force to load the module, but Iḿ not sure is the right module. * In a 32 bits environment it works as /dev/ttysUSB0, may be the 64 bits is the problem? * Its a very know hardware, but it doesn't work with 13.10 and 10-2013 ? ** Affects: minicom (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to minicom in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243607 Title: Ubuntu 13.10 pl2303 hl340 64 bits problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/minicom/+bug/1243607/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
