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

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

It seems the module ftdi_sio is not on the system.
The HP thin client uses a 64MB flash card with a debian live based  
image.
It uses squashfs. /lib is read-only and no compile tools installed.
Won't be easy to add it I'm afraid.

The reader works fine on a normal (and newer) debian live image.
