Kernel modules

Hi all,

I have managed to compile and install modules for usb-serial and pl2303 usb-serial converter. It seems to work OK. I have only tested data input using a pl2303/GPS device. I am struggling a bit to enable ppp_mppe. I am trying to enable a pptp client, but I am afraid that some kernel features are missing. Anybody tried to enable PPTP?

Dear Kris!
PLEASE!!! Tell me more, in detail, what about you have managed to compile and install modules for usb-serial and pl2303 usb-serial converter for MyBook.
It is VERY interesting for me.

Kriss,
I really need this pl2303 usb-serial converter too. Can you tell me more about that?

I'm interested in that too, USB to Serial in particular. I need to hook up serial devices to MBW and current kernel does not recognize the USB to serial adapter (Tried on prolific and FTDI chips)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

After compiling the kernel modules, follow these instructions (this will add support for prolific pl2303 usb-serial device):

Add these lines to modules.dep:
/lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko

Add these lines to modules.usbmap
pl2303 0x0003 0x067b 0x2303 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0
pl2303 0x0003 0x067b 0x04bb 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0
pl2303 0x0003 0x04bb 0x0a03 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0
pl2303 0x0003 0x0557 0x2008 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0

make devices
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1

and put the .ko files in:
/lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
