Description Matt Dainty 2004-03-25 11:19:29 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)

Description of problem:
The 2.4.22 kernel (Fedora or kernel.org) doesn't have support for the
Keyspan 19HS single port serial dongle.

Keyspan have a patch available here:

http://www.keyspan.com/support/linux/files/currentversion/patch/kspatch2003oct02

...which adds support for this model. I've added this patch as #1268
into the Fedora kernel-2.4.spec file and it applies cleanly and
builds. I've tested my dongle with a rebuilt 2.4.22-1.2174 kernel and
it now works as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.22-1.2174

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug 19HS USB serial dongle into computer


Actual Results:  dmesg shows kernel acknowledges the basic USB device
exists, but no driver takes ownership.

Expected Results:  dmesg shows kernel acknowledges the USB device,
keyspan driver should take ownership, report exact hardware
name/version/configuration and the /dev nodes by which to access the
device.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
