In addition, this device seems to ignore setting of RTS/DTR by option_send_
setup and doesn't answer the usb_control_msg leading to a 5 s timeout
(USB_CTRL_SET_TIMEOUT) in userspace open() and other operations. As this
confused several impatient userspace applications like Minicom and
ModemManager, I decided to reduce the timeout to more reasonable 1000 ms.
I don't think the usual USB GSM stick needs longer, so this should be
safe.
Unfortunately the 5s timeout comes from the USB spec for control
messages. So reducing it is a serious matter. In this case I'd prefer
if you introduce a special case for these devices and fail the operation
without doing any IO.
Thanks for the answer and suggestion. I looked into that - but
unfortunately (again), it isn't that easy. The device accepts the
option_set_setup triggered control message on *one* of its three
interfaces while it silently ignores it on the other two. :-(
I do see /dev/ttyUSB[0-2] - and on /dev/ttyUSB2, everything works as
expected (i.e. the control message *is* handled correctly) while ttyUSB0
and ttyUSB1 exhibit this strange timeout issue.
As you might have expected, I have no detailed spec about the device
which could explain this. I can only say that the device reacts on AT
commands on ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 while ttyUSB0 seems to serve other purposes.
What do you think - shall I disable sending the usb control message
depending on bInterfaceNumber? Any better ideas?
Here's the "lsusb -v" output in case this helps:
