Some days back I posted on linux-usb-users about my pl2303-based USB serial device not working. I received one private response that it works in linux 2.6.8, and indeed it does, perfectly.
Does anyone have a backport to kernel 2.4.x? Even the latest 2.4.28 prepatch has the old revision of the driver. The diffs didn't seem hard to merge in so I tried doing it myself. Earlier, under 2.4 (and also under DragonFly BSD and, I'm told, NetBSD) the modem would simply not acknowledge commands: the initialisation string would time out. Now after my attempted merge, the modem initialises, dials, authenticates and even the IP address gets configured; but after that, no traffic flows at all. I have no clue how to debug this, but for various reasons I'd really prefer to use 2.4 to 2.6. Here's my syslog, with verbose output from the usb-serial driver. The last 13 lines keep repeating every time I try to make traffic flow, almost identically except for the "data" line which changes. -- Rahul ....
