Is this about the second top-most menu entry? --- USB Serial Converter support -*- Functions for loading firmware on EZUSB chips [*] USB Generic Serial Driver CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC: Say Y here if you want to use the generic USB serial driver. Please read <file:Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt> for more information on using this driver. It is recommended that the "USB Serial converter support" be compiled as a module for this driver to be used properly. Or is it about the parent? CONFIG_USB_SERIAL: Say Y here if you have a USB device that provides normal serial ports, or acts like a serial device, and you want to connect it to your USB bus. Please read <file:Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt> for more information on the specifics of the different devices that are supported, and on how to use them. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called usbserial. Symbol: USB_SERIAL Type: tristate Prompt: USB Serial Converter support Could the documenting text be made more clear that this is not really something to be generally enabled? I probably felt into the same trap as well. It is puzzling that there are so many devcies listed after the "USB Generic Serial Driver" ... What am I getting wrong?
