Linux uses vendor and product id as well, but there is wildcard
matching, so the driver is loaded based on the match. Linux has a more
flexible architecture for USB hotplug, so it is up to the distribution
or the upstream provider of the USB system to decide what driver to
load, not the manufa

Maybe Elecraft will ship me a KUSBI am trying to find my wrap plug. I'd
like someway to test the serial/usb convertor.
Windows loads USB drivers based on the vendor id and product id reported by
the device. Are you implying that MacOS and Linux do it differently, by
saying the driver used is based on the chip?

So, getting USB to work depends on the following:

Interestingly, this this of problem is created for Windows. There are a
limited number of USB/RS232 converter chip types in the world, all
supportable by a small number of drivers. Each seller, though, gets to
set an "id" in the chiop, which tells the OS what driver to load. The

I think Elecraft are making the correct decision by supplying a Serial<=>USB
converter which is known to work. Being involved with the software side of
the things it's problems with the Serial<=>USB which cause the most grief.

I see a KUSB option for the K3, Universal Serial Bus Adpatercan't seem to
find it on the FaQ page. Does anyone know if it's an internal option, or an
external adapter?
I have a serial port-less computer and no luck finding adapters to give me a
serial port.
