This serial driver currently only works with the Belkin and Peracom USB
Serial devices. It should also work for the Etek converter, but I do
not know the vendor id and device id of that device (if anyone does,
please let me know.)
If your device is not compatible with the above models, you can try
out the "generic" interface. This interface does not provide any type
of control messages sent to the device, and does not support any kind
of device flow control. All that is required of your device is that
it has at least one bulk in endpoint, or one bulk out endpoint.
To enable the driver to recognize your device, build the driver as
a module and load it by the following invocation:
insmod usb-serial.o vendor=0x#### product=0x####
where the #### is replaced with the hex representation of your device's
vendor id and product id.
The driver can handle enumerating the device, and sending and receiving
data from the converter. However, since I do not have a spec for the Belkin,
Peracom, and eTek devices, and the raw dumps from the Win98 driver are
confusing, and eTek keeps giving me the run around, no control signals are
currently handled, and the data will most likely come through on a baud
rate that you are not expecting. So if you have these devices, do not
expect the correct data to show up at either end.
The major number that the driver uses is 188 so to use the driver, create
the following nodes:
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
mknod /dev/ttyUSB3 c 188 3
then plug in a device and use your friendly terminal program to see what
happens.
If anyone has any problems getting the device to enumerate, or data to
flow through it, please contact me.
