Greetings,
I am a long time FreeBSD user (started with FreeBSD 2.1.5R). I took a
break with FreeBSD for a while with a Linux desktop, but have recently
returned. I am now running a 10.2R desktop. I am having problems getting
a a FTDI based USB to serial cable to provide CAT control to my Yaesu
FT-897d amateur radio. The cable is made by RT-Systems with vendor ID
0x2100 and a product ID 0x9e56. In Linux, using a udev rule, the cable
works correctly with a command like the following:
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x2100 product=0x9e56
or a udev rule similar to the following:
SYSFS{idVendor}=="2100", SYSFS{idProduct}=="9e56", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -q
ftdi_sio vendor=0x2100 product=0x9e56"
How do I accomplish the same in FreeBSD? When the cable is plugged in, I
get the following in /var/log/messages:
Nov 10 08:17:58 kernel: ugen2.3: <RT Systems> at usbus2 (disconnected)
Nov 10 08:18:06 kernel: ugen2.3: <RT Systems> at usbus2
Nov 10 08:18:06 devd: Executing 'logger Unknown USB device: vendor 0x2100

Nov 10 08:47:31 root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x2100 product 0x9e56 bus
uhub4
and usbconfig shows the following:
$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/usbconfig -d ugen2.3 dump_device_desc
ugen2.3: <CT-62B Radio Cable RT Systems> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL

bDescriptorType = 0x0001
bcdUSB = 0x0200
bDeviceClass = 0x0000 <Probed by interface class>
bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0008
idVendor = 0x2100
idProduct = 0x9e56
bcdDevice = 0x0600
iManufacturer = 0x0001 <RT Systems>
iProduct = 0x0002 <CT-62B Radio Cable>
iSerialNumber = 0x0003 <RTUI129S>
bNumConfigurations = 0x0001
$
I have installed devel/libftdi from the ports collection, but I have not
found documentation on how to configure my system to be able to use this
device.
Once this issue is resolved, I want to use hamlib or FLRIG and FLDIGI for
amateur radio digital communications.
I have been searching for days to find documentation on what I need to do
to make this work and have struck out.
Regards,
-Burton
