New Tira receiver not working

[Daryl S. <da...@ci...>]

I am trying to get a Tira remote control transmitter/receiver working
with my RedHat 9 installation. (http://www.home-electro.com/tira2.htm)
This unit is a usb device but I am unable to talk to it when I plug it in.

I know that my usb port is working as I have a Sony digital camera that
mounts nicely as a removable drive. I also have an ATEN USB -> Serial unit
that also works fine.

I found some limited info about ftdi-usb-sio (1.3.3) and so I installed the
latest into my kernel tree (2.4.21) and rebuilt. I believe I now have the
latest modules loaded.

# lsmod | grep ftd
ftdi_sio               17976   0  (unused)
usbserial              21980   0  [ftdi_sio pl2303]
usbcore                77472   1  [ftdi_sio usb-storage pl2303 usbserial hid usb-uhci]

In my messages file I see the following.

Feb 29 13:57:53 littled kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:11.2-2.3, assigned address 6
Feb 29 13:57:53 littled kernel: usb.c: USB device 6 (vend/prod 0x403/0xfa78) is not claimed by any active driver.
Feb 29 13:57:57 littled /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 403/fa78/400

I can see from the source code that the usb Id for my device is not
supported. I am however at a loss as to how to add my deive and what else
I would need to do. Has anyone got one of these new Tira units to work????

    It seems that 1.3.3 isn't enough. You should get more recent driver. 
I have Tira-2 and ftdi_sio driver version 1.3.5 from 2.4.23 kernel and 
it works well. When you loading module, even without device, you should 
see message "registered support for Tira" or something similar.
    Also I have modified port initialization code in 
lirc/daemons/serial.c (tty_setrtscts() function) - Tira needs rts_cts 
control, but _without_ two-stop-bits mode.

Many thanks.
Looking at the ftdi_sio.h in kernel 2.4.25 has recognition of the Tira so
I will build a new kernel and see how it goes. Thanks for the info.
