For the Keyspan PDA adapter:
/sbin/modprobe keyspan_pda
For the Belkin PDA adpater:
/sbin/modprobe belkin_sa
Marc Ozon offers:
While the Keyspan adapter does apparently work well for most of the Keyspan USB-serial converters, the driver for the Belkin USB-serial converter work *only* with the one with the model number F5U103. The Belkin F5U109 definitely does *not* work ...
I can also add the following:
- Any of the USB-serial adapter modules require the usbserial driver to
be loaded first (/sbin/modprobe usbserial, if it is not loaded
automatically). Also, modules can be easily viewed with lsmod, loaded
with insmod, and unloaded with rmmod (all in /sbin).
- The PalmConnect USB-serial adapter (i.e. the one sold by Palm) does
*not* work.
- The ATEN UC-232A or Iogear GUC-232A does work, with the pl2303 driver
(/sbin/modprobe pl2303, if available and compiled for your kernel).
- Handspring Visor users can use the visor module: /sbin/modprobe visor
- Anyone interested in getting a USB-serial converter other than these (or any other USB device) should be strongly encouraged to check the USB device and driver list at www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/ to make sure they choose a device for which there is good driver support *before* buying an adapter. There are a couple other USB-serial converters other than the Keyspan or pl2303-based ones that apparently work well.
