The Keyspan adapters need to have firmware loaded on them before they become functional. If you poke around for the Entrega support (Keyspans are relabelled Entregas, essentially) you can find the necessary firmware downloader. Doug Ambrisko had some tools to that effect posted on his website. I have a USA19W that works fine in BSD. Note that Keyspan themselves has linux drivers with the firmware posted, and Entrega went under a few years ago. Not sure why you'd want a QW, it only does 38400 or 57600 baud. The 19W does 115200 and faster :) -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
