I should use a device with USB to serial interface by Cypress
Semiconductor (Vendor ID: 0x04b4 and Product ID: 0x5500) on a computer
with Scientific Linux 4.6.
The kernel that i use is 2.6.9-67 and the support for the cypress chip
is only from kernel 2.6.10 with the module "cypress_m8".
Since I can not upgrade the kernel, is it possibile found a driver for
that chip working under kernel 2.6.9?
This is the cat of /proc/bus/usb/devices:

Thanks.
