I also want to use my KT-LINK multipurpose low-level embedded access multitool based on FT2232H with RS232 port and I was worried there is no driver - right now I will add the PID and recompile sources to see if it works - happy to catch this thread :-) Some questions as you Ian seem to already have experience with this devices: 1. Is it possible to compile only uftdi driver and load it into existing kernel that have this driver compiled-in so I don't have to recompile whole kernel and all of the modules? 2. Is it possible to pass VID/PID and/or RS232 channel as kernel loadable option? This would again spare some build/runtime time for me :-) 3. Do you know a good method on kernel module testing other than rebuilding/rebooting all the time? VirtualBox + USB Attach? Any hints appreciated! :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
