Yes, I'm not really aware how the USB works.
What I know (or guess to know...) is :
* USB is a bus
* USB devices have vendor/product ID to identify itself on the bus.
* A USB driver register itself with vendor/product ID and will process
only data that match the IDs
The error I have done is to think that the usbserial driver convert any
USB data to a serial stream. But in fact, this driver is dedicated to USB
devices that use a serial-like protocol to send data on the bus. And then
could only be used with such devices...
Then I cannot use the mouse to make my test but have to find another
device like a Visor.
Is this right ?
Thanks,
Philippe
