Any chance I can get this USB to 9pin serial device to work?
By default the hid driver grabs it. It seems to then appear
as hiddev0 but I can't make that look like a serial port.

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:usb # stty -a<hiddev0
  stty: standard input: Invalid argument
  
I tried rmmoding hid and loading usbserial manually.

If I try:
  insmod usbserial vendor=0x04b4 product=0x5500

I get:
  Nov  8 16:51:01 cichlid kernel: usbserial.c: Generic device with no bulk out, not 
allowed.

I tried google for "Vendor=04b4 ProdID=5500" and zip.

http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids lists it as a:

  HID->COM RS232 Adapter

/proc/bus/usb/devices says (If I parsed it right):
