Hi, I have a device that works well with the usbserial generic driver. However, I can't seem to get it to work on a system that also has a USB-serial converter attached. I've tried this: modprobe usbserial vendor=1d5f product=1004 ... which worked well on other systems. I've also tried this: echo '1d5f 1004' >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/new_id ...but that doesn't seem to work. I've tried all of the above with ftdi_sio (the module for the USB-serial converter) unloaded. Poking around generic.c seems to indicate that it can only be used for a single device at a time. Is this true? Could the presence of an extra USB-serial converter make the generic driver unusable for my other device? I got desperate and gave the option module a try: modprobe option echo '1d5f 1004' >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id That seems to work. Is there any reason not to use the option module for a generic USB-serial device (i.e. will I see problems when I'm actually transferring data)? Any help would be appreciated.
