[Ftdi-usb-sio-devel] Linux thin client -> usb badge reader

[Roeland M. <ro...@mo...>]

I have a linux thin client where I would like to attach an usb badge  
reader.
This badge reader should be available as a normal serial port.

I have this in /proc/bus/usb/devices:

T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0403 ProdID=6001 Rev= 4.00
S:  Manufacturer=FTDI
S:  Product=USB <-> Serial
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 90mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms

"Driver=(none)"
Is there a kernel (2.6.15.7) module I need to load first?

When removing and attaching the device I get this in dmesg
usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4

How to proceed? Any tips are welcome.

Thanks,

Roeland
