[solved] Nokia CA-42 cable clone and linpus

hello,

I have a cheap Nokia CA-42 cable clone, I modified it to work as a serial TTL for terminal connections but I'm unable to install it in linpus. It uses an arkmicrochips ark3116s chip.

With lsusb i get:

Code:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 6574:0232

With the modprobe command:

Code:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x6547 product=0x0232

I get:

Code:

FATAL: Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

then, in the dmesg:

Code:

usbserial: Unkown parameter 'vendor'

Can anyone help me with this? many thanks!

I think your problem is this:

You can find this line in the configurationfile in the /boot directory.

There is a file here:http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4800&start=10#p37023
I wonder if you can simply replace your usbserial.ko with the one you can extract from this file.
( and run depmod )

thank you Japser, I'll give it a try.

 

Re: Nokia CA-42 cable clone and linpus

yeah, it works flawless!

I replaced the whole 'serial' directory with the one in that file. There're a lot of files there, including ark3116.ko (wich is my chip). Then I ran depmod -a, and then I ran again the modprobe command above.

Now with dmesg i get:

Code:

ark3116 2-1:0.0: ark3116 converter detected
usb 2-1: ark3116 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

I already tested it in gtkterm and it works great! Thank you again, Japser!

 

Good news!

I think it should even work now without the modprobe command.

Anyway, it works.
