USB to serial bug

[Mathieu Clabon]

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your reply.

I indeed tried setserial /dev/usb/ttyUSB0, but all I get is: Cannot get 
serial info: Invalid argument
But a stty -a < /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 gives me the config of the device, 
which seems to be ok.

I actually get the same info with stty -a < /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 and stty -a 
< /dev/ttyS0, but these two devices behave differently.

Moreover, I can't think of any reason why I get a kernel panic when I 
reboot while a win hyperterm is trying to send data over the serial port.

As far as setup app for the device is concerned, it indeed came with a 
driver .. for windows :-(

Since I don't really have time to try and fix that right now, I'm more 
looking for advices regarding USB to serial that are known to work with 
my kernel.

By the way, there was a typo in my previous post: I'm obviously using 
kernels 2.4.20-x and not 20.4.20-x  ;-)

Suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance
Mathieu
