I tried a handful of modules but nothing would bind to it. So I'm wondering how hard it would be to get it to bind to a port with an existing module or new module, or if I'm completely thinking in the wrong direction.
Short of changing a few device IDs in the code per peoeple here I haven't really looked into linux's usb code, but ya gotta start somewhere, right?
The cable itself is a USB device, most likely a USB<->serial converter. You can try to bind the generic driver to it using module parameters.
Good call. This:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0731 product=0x0528
works well. However, there seems to be an issue when I rmmod the driver -- the rmmod segfaults, and the kernel appears to oops:

I don't really plan on removing the module very often, but I thought I'd at least bring it up...
Thanks for your help.
