hi misc. some time ago i bought a usb to serial controller. after searching the archives and googling a lot, i found, that i want a profilic driven controller and nearly every cheap one should run profilic. although i thought i will be lucky, i got one, which doesn't run as expected (Logilink USB 2.0 Serial Adapter). the cd has, as usual, only mac and windows driver on it. the problems i see are: when i connect to my Soekris 4801 (running -STABLE) from my -CURRENT laptop (dmesg at the end), it drops directly in to ddb and i can't type any input. if i reboot it (power off and on again), it starts as usual and i can see the output but can't do any input on it (e.g. at the boot prompt or login). the faulty device registers as:
uplcom0 at uhub1 port 1 "Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller D" rev 1.10/4.00 addr 2 ucom0 at uplcom0 last week i gave another adapter a try, this time from Belkin. i went to there website and they dropped me to one their local retailer with this one: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90211762.asp?agent=682 (german computer shop) this controller works fine and gets recognized at this one: uplcom0 at uhub3 port 1 "Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller" rev 1.10/3.00 addr 2 ucom0 at uplcom0 now i can connect and my Soekris doesn't drop into ddb anymore and input is also fine. i tested the LogiLink on a windows box and used the vendor's drivers and hyperterminal and everything works, so this isn't a hardware thing. i am willing to donate this one (with or without the cd). don't know, if it's of interest, but this thing also doesn't work on FreeBSD or fedora (with minicom). Is anyone interested in this piece of hardware? cheers, marc ~ $ dmesg OpenBSD 4.3-current (GENERIC.MP) #0: Tue Jun 3 11:08:37 CEST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP
