Hi, After some googling and searching the archive of this list with no luck, I have a question for you. I bought a Radio Shack USB / Serial converter cable (Model: 26-183) that my kernel does not recognize. I think it should, but it doesn't. I don't think it's the hardware because I have a Belkin USB/Serial converter that works just fine with my Linux laptop, and the new RS one tested fine under Windows. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Mark Here is some information on my system. # uname -a Linux ebbelwoi 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 #1 SMP Tue Jun 19 18:50:05 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # tail -f /var/log/messages Jul 29 21:19:39 ebbelwoi kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device \ using ohci_hcd and address 5 Jul 29 21:19:39 ebbelwoi kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # lsusb -v (only stanza relevant to RS USB <--> Serial shown here) Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05ad:0fba Y.C.
