But if it is recognized, it should show up via usbdevs e.g. % usbdevs addr 1: OHCI root hub, ATI addr 1: OHCI root hub, ATI addr 2: USB FAST SERIAL ADAPTER, FTDI addr 1: EHCI root hub, ATI Take a look at the man pages for ucom and the various drivers that support it. ---Mike Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Connecting to a USB serial port
I have a Keyspan USB serial port on my FreeBSD 6.1 box and trying to connect from a Linux box to the machine. I'm using minicom and not sure of the settings that should be used. I see the following in dmesg... sio0: 16550A-compatible COM port port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A Is this the USB serial port? There is no other serial port avaialble on the server, but could be something in the board, not sure. I doubt it. That looks like a normal board-resident serial port, esp. with the on acpi0 notation (which suggests that it is part of an ACPI-controlled device, and ACPI is ordinarily aware of only motherboard devices). It's likely part of the super-io chip, and it may possibly be connected to a 10-pin Berg header on the motherboard (or it may not be connected to the outside world at all). The motherboard manual, if available, might provide a clue. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
