Do you have ucom device in your kernel?


Yup:

# egrep ugen|ucom /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/RICKY
device  ugen# Generic
device  ucom
#


after you plug it in,  have you got any /dev/cua* ?


Only:

# ls -al /dev/cuad0
crw-rw  1 uucp  dialer0,  40 May 18 22:04 /dev/cuad0
#

But it is there regardless as to whether or not the adapter is  
plugged in.




Does/can it work?  If not, what vendor USB2Serial adapter do I need
to get?


I use one based on the Prolific PL2303 chipset, Comsol brand.

when plugged in I get:
May 19 13:41:05 ayiin kernel: ucom0: vendor 0x067b product 0x2303, rev
1.10/2.02, addr 3

and  gets added as /dev/cuaU0

Hi Jason,

Be careful, because the first adapter I received was actually faulty.
The light would go on and the device would show up in my USB device
tree. But it would not work. After a few talks with Keyspan's support,
they had to send me a new one for it to work. The whole process was
free of charge.

I would suggest you try the adapter on a MacOS X or Windows machine
along with the software that shipped with it just to make sure it
behaves as intended. Assuming you do have a Mac or a Win machine handy
of course.

FYI: I use this adapter on MacOS X laptop to access the console of
FreeBSD, RedHat and Sun Microsystems machine. It works like a charm.

Good luck,

David

Re: Keyspan USB2Serial

2006-05-19 Thread Atom Powers

I have a KeySpan  model USA-19HS that I use with my OS X laptop; but
my FreeBSD desktop is currently being rebuilt, so I can't test it
there. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.

I purchased this adapter because it was the only one I saw that had OS
X and Linux support advertised on the box and support pages on their
site.

I've had this adapter for years and it works fine in Mac OS X.  I  
just tested it in another identical machine running Gentoo with a 2.6  
kernel and it works fine there too.


I can freely move it between Mac OS X and Linux without issue, but as  
soon as I move it back to FreeBSD, it goes dead again.


It's not the USB ports because I can connect a USB keyboard and/or  
mouse into any of the other USB ports on that machine and they work  
fine.
