The cdc-acm driver cannot handle those ports, but a more forgiving

abuses the option driver, but Ben could do a simple test like this:

   echo 2 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/<usbportname>/bConfigurationValue
   modprobe option
   echo 152a 8230 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

Unless I missed something, this should result in two /dev/ttyUSBx serial
devices.

Before plugging in the receiver, there's ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 from another usb/serial converter device that I can't remove. After plugging in, dmesg says:

and ttyACM0 appears.

ttyACM0 is gone and no new ttyUSB* appear.

ttyUSB2 is dead
ttyUSB3 works and is connected to a port named USB1 on the receiver
ttyUSB4 is dead
ttyUSB5 works and is connected to a port named USB2 on the receiver

usb-devices now shows:

I:  If#= 3 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=ff Driver=option

I guess this device is worth a new serial driver of its own in case that
works?  Or should we create a generic driver for 02/02/ff serial devices
(using the inverse of the logic in drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c:
usbnet_generic_cdc_bind to avoid RNDIS devices)?  A few modems with such
ports have been added to option, but a generic solution might be better.

I obviously don't know, but would be very happy to supply further information!

thanks,
ben
