Actually, the one I have is a DYNEX. But after some diddling I found my |
| 18 |
problem, I wasn't aware until borrowing my boss Ubuntu system that the |
| 19 |
DYNEX USB2Serial cable uses the pl2303 driver. I was trying to use the |
| 20 |
generic driver. Once I compiled the pl2303 driver it works perfectly. |
