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.)
The driver can handle enumerating the device, and sending and receiving
data from the converter. However, since I do not have a spec for this
device, and the raw dumps from the Win98 driver are confusing, no control
signals are handled, and the data will most likely come through on a baud
rate that you are not expecting.
But I am working on figuring the control settings out. This release is to
let others try it out, and give some feedback.
The major number that the driver uses is 240 (in the local/experimental
range.) It will stay there until some agreements are reached on how to
handle the configuration problem that USB provides.
To use the driver, create the following nodes:
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 240 0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 240 1
mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 240 2
mknod /dev/ttyUSB3 c 240 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.
