19:37 <****> Let me be very specific, I patched it, built it, loaded it onto the OM, set usb_mode to host, plugged in a usb device with my own home made cable, and the device information shows up under lsusb
19:38 <****> the device is usb-serial so now I am looking into how the driver should be built into the kernel so it will show up as a tty device.
19:38 <****> *nod*
19:38 <****> basically it could still crap out at any step but it does show up
19:38 <****> getting to lsusb does seem to be likely to be most of it...
19:38 <****> magellan: what is the vendor and device id from lsusb?
19:39 <****> magellan: have you had the serial device working with any linux?
19:39 <****> I'd rather not say as it is for work.
19:39 <****> I have had it working under ubuntu and fedora core 6
19:40 <****> Ooooh secrets!
19:40 <****> we have an application to drive it and now Im porting it to the device
19:40 <****> once I get the driver in there
19:40 <****> mwester: have you ever seen a professionally made three headed usb cable
19:40 <****> ?
19:41 <****> I was going to suggest just "ipkg install kernel-module-usbserial kernel-module-pl2303" but it isn't so simple if it's custom hardware.
19:41 <****> Yep, I have the three-head cable for an external laptop usb drive.
19:41 <****> where does one get that
19:42 <****> we have one here but can't find where to buy another one
19:42 <****> I got it with the enclosure, one of those no-name taiwanese ones from an eBay store.
19:42 <****> 2 inch HD enclosure
19:42 <****> ?
19:43 <****> Yep, 2.5" hd enclosure.
19:43 <****> that seems reasonable, now I have to find one by itself
19:46 <****> mwester: it does use the generic usb-serial driver though
