I've got a USB -> RS232 adapter I'm trying to get working on 5.3-RELEASE.
I've seen a lot of comments about these kind of things that seem to indicate that they can be used (I occasionally have needs to use this lappy as a serial console, and I'd like to use it to demonstrate a serial barcode scanner that we have - normally, tip would work great for this, but the laptop doesn't have a native RS-232 port). Anyway, I get the impression that I'm missing some early, basic steps to get this working. dmesg shows: ugen0: Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 2 But neither tip nor cu seems to talk to ugen0 very well. Other posts I've seen seem to indicate that I need to be talking to a ucom0 device, but I see nothing like that in /dev. Is there something missing from my kernel? I haven't been able to find any reference to ucom in the GENERIC or NOTES files. Any advice/pointers is welcome.
