Is there maybe a generic module like for USB mass storage devices? Thanks for advices, I bought an adapter from Digitus today, it works great. I just had to plug it in :-) http://www.digitus.de/produkte/accessories/adapter-konverter.htm Regards, -- Christian

Any help is appreciated, When you build a custom kernel, that is a good/excellent time to see what chipsets/driver code exist for which devices. However, going from the name of the driver code or chipset in the kernel component selection process does not always map directly to the commercial name(s) that vendors use to refer to the products they sell. Most often, the vendors are unaware that a particular device is or isn't supported by linux drivers. Get a device supported by the 2.6 kernel series, as the has been many changes and enhancements to the serial and usb device interfaces to the 2.6.x kernels. Let me know what you get working, as this is on my todo list too... James

I have one of these [1], which worked fine when I last used it with the generic usb-serial adapter kernel driver (under 2.4), look under 'USB Serial convertor support in 2.6 kernels.
