Hi Greg, Thanks for your response. I figured that pl2303 should load, but it just doesn't. I have another pl23o3o device - a Holux GM-210 GPS (native usb) that works just fine. The pl2303 module autoloads with no problem.
I downloaded kernel source, added the Vendor and Product Ids for the RS USB/Serial converter to pl2303.h (I think it was) and recompiled, but that didn't seem to work either. (I don;t want to make a habit of it, though. I've compiled many kernels in my time. But now, I like the stability of the FC kernel RPMs on my "production" laptop.) When searching for info, I came across references to a file called "usb.ids". Is it just a reference file for which vendor/product IDs are currently in the USB modules related header files? Or can I put that info somewhere else and have the device just work?
