1 Hello,
2
3 I have (2) different usb->serial converters, both of
4 which are listed
5 when I build the drivers->usb->serial-converter in a
6 2.6.17-r8 kernel:
7
8 USB Serial Converter support
9 USB Generic Serial Driver
10 USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)
11 USB HP4x Calculators support
12 USB Xircom / Entregra Single Port Serial Driver
13
14 here I show everything selected in this section>
15
16 so I build a new kernel
17 make && make modules_install
18 and boot off the new kernel. All looks find from the
19 subsequent
20 dmesg(snipped for brevity)
21 usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage

59 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

62 So it all looks fine. Next I configure minicom...
63 I have mincom working on regular 9pin serial ports on multiple
64 systems. I know my cabling, and 8N1, 9600 baud and no hard/soft
65 FC work to the serial port on the test (cisco) device.
66 So I know that minicom is installed and the
67 etc/minicom/minirc.dfl match with system that work.
68
69 So my best guess the problem is the port device driver,
70 converter device or the port setting in /etc/mincom/minirc.dfl
71 I've tried all of these with the ftdi device:
72
73 pr port /dev/ttyUSB0
74 pr port /dev/bus/usb/002
75 pr port /dev/bus/usb/002/002
76
77 Any suggestions are most welcome.
78 The Entrega device was not plugged in during the reboot
79 so it does not show up in dmesg. The Entrega device
80 is the other device I have, but all attempts with it
81 fail also....I did notice the device has the name
82 Entrega printed on it and the kernel uses the name
83 Entregra, but, I was hoping they're the same?
84
85 ideas?
