Hello,

I'm trying to install the Belkin F5U109 USB-serial adapter in my debian
install running 2.4.18.  Searching google for help yielded some mails from
this list, but I didn't find anything conclusive.

Evidently the belkin module is not the right one to use, but rather the
mct_u232 is the module that has support for the belkin F5U109.  I install
it and usbserial, and everything looks good when I plug it in:

---
May 23 16:54:47 cottonmouth kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on
bus1/2, assigned device number 3
May 23 16:54:47 cottonmouth kernel: usbserial.c: Magic Control Technology
USB-RS232 converter detected
May 23 16:54:47 cottonmouth kernel: usbserial.c: Magic Control Technology
USB-RS232 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
---

Note that it's not actually a Magic Control Technology USB-RS232
converter; its a Belkin.  I'm guessing Magic Control Tech OEMed the
product?

Anyway, the device has three lights on it: LINK, TX, and RX.  The link
light is always on when it's plugged in.  When I echo 'some stuff' >
/dev/ttyUSB0, the LINK light blinks, but nothing else happens.  On a
windows box, when I send stuff, the TX light does blink (as it should).

The device I'm trying to control only works at 2400 baud, so I set the
baudrate: stty 2400 < /dev/ttyUSB0.  The device doesn't show any sign of
being sent anything, though.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?  As far as I can tell, the mct_u232
should work fine.  I checked the source code and saw a comment indicating
that it was updated to support the Belkin F5u109.

Any help would be appreciated!
