Hi

This is my first time trying to do anything "fancy" with USB.

I have a USB to 1-Wire(R) dongle made by Eclo. <http://www.eclo.pt> This device uses an FT232BM chip as the USB to serial interface, then a DS2480B serial to 1-Wire(R) device.

As far as I can see, I need to use ftdi_sio.ko to use the FT232BM driver with my 2.6.4 (SuSE Linux 9.1 - standard) kernel. I can insmod the driver, but I don't see any reference to it working with the dongle when I run hwinfo. Running my communication software on /dev/ttyUSB0 gives a "can't open port" error. I can't find any documentation on using this kernel module.

Output from hwinfo:
36: USB 00.0: 0000 Unclassified device
  [Created at usb.118]
  Unique ID: ADDn.99EncNgBx53
  Parent ID: k4bc.vMZG55EmJB0
  SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0

  Hardware Class: unknown
  Model: "Future Technology Devices Eclo COM to 1-Wire USB adapter"
  Hotplug: USB
  Vendor: usb 0x0403 "Future Technology Devices"
  Device: usb 0xea90 "Eclo COM to 1-Wire USB adapter"
  Revision: "4.00"
  Serial ID: "99999984"
  Speed: 1.5 Mbps
  Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
  Attached to: #35 (Hub)

Do I need to provide any arguments to the kernel module? I tried giving vendor and product arguments, as per the HowTo for usbserial.o, but just got an error.

Any assistance with this would be much appreciated!

Cheers

M
