Hi guys;
I am using one of these as the interface between belkins upsd daemon and the
ups, This particular one says its a radio shack model according to lsusb -v:

======, several years old now, and the cat of /proc/bus/usb/devices for it
looks like this:
T: Bus=02 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=1453 ProdID=4026 Rev= 0.00
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=pl2303
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 10 Ivl=1ms
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=83(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
And no, that's not a paste error, it really does have 3 E:'s.
dmesg says this about it.
pl2303 2-2.1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected

Serial Device
When it is being used to monitor the ups, it will fail to get the data
properly, 2 or 3 times a day, and the belkin upsd has this nasty habit of
throwing up a small screen on every screen running, or popping up its message
on all available shells with a -wall broadcast advising the whole world of
the disconnect, only to cancel it 2 seconds later when it starts getting good
data again. A right noxious PITA. And it can only talk to a full, 12mb/s
usb circuit, it is not even detected or initialized if its plugged into a
high speed (400mhz) hub.
The problem has the walk and quack of a type 2 pl2303 that I was able to find
a thread on that took place back in 2005, thanks to google.
Is this indeed a type 2 chip? Or enough of a clone of it to stumble like this
from time to time?
Are there any patches to fix this even pending at this late date? I could
play the canary easy enough and test them.
Thanks all.
