Got it Andy, thanks - DigiRig is indeed a USB -to- Serial and USB -to- CODEC interface combined into a single case. When it comes up for serial, it shows-up in /dev as ttyUSB0 or 1, depending on which port I am in. Then, after some seconds (like 1 or 2 "ls /dev/tty* attempts) it no longer shows, and utils like FLRIG or GRIG do not offer the port for CAT control. So, after posting in the DigiRig Support Forum, I received some responses. Denis Grisak/K0TX posted a link to a google search for a similar...

Hi Andy: Seems my earlier reply did not go (?!?), so I'll try again please. The DigiRig computer -to- Radio interface is indeed both a serial interface for CAT and a USB CODEC for the audio, in my case connected between an FT-817ND and my AHRLv25 linux on a Gateway laptop (I have now loaded on a Dell D820 laptop as well, same results). Following-up, I have tried a new USB cable to DigiRig; still fails with ttyUSB0 coming and going. I then switched radios to an ICOM IC-7100, with it's built-in USB...

Any suggestions? Thanks, Jeff Marden/N1JCM

Hello - new AHRL v25 user, installed on a Gateway laptop, with an FT-817 and a DigiRig interface for USB-based serial CAT and CODEC. When running, I can lsusb and see my serial port and CODEC, but when I ls /dev/tty* I don't see ttyUSB0. If I unplug and re-plug the USB cable from the laptop port, ttyUSB0 shows up, but a short time later is goes missing again. I did see the earlier discussion on groups, etc, but I ran the fix-account on install like the "getting started" said to do. Why is the ttyUSB0...

Hello again Andy and Group: Following-up, I appear to have found the issue with WIFI and the Xfinity router; no DNS defined. I looked at /etc/resolv.conf, which holds the DNS definitions for internet access. This had one entry "nameserver 192.168.1.1". Unfortunately, no Comcast DNS's, and the Xfinity router is 10.0.0.1 locally. I edited the file to replace the entry with the two Comcast DNS adresses and internet now works. Lastly, the resolv.conf file says do not edit by hand because it will be overwritten,...

Hello Andy & Group: No feedback here, so I'm trying again... Anybody having wifi problems when using an Xfinity router for internet access? @v22B-64bit WIFI connects to router and ping to gateway OK, but no access to internet. No web addresses recognized, but ip addresses ping ok, so DNS issues? Thoughts? Thanks, Jeff Marden N1JCM

Hello All: With V22b-64 installed and running using a Verizon Router for WIFI internet access I could connect and operate fine. When I switched to an Xfinity router, I seem to have lost internet access even though I connect to WIFI ok and can ping the gateway fine. When I ping external I get no access errors. Has anyone seen this before? Any help to fix? Thanks, Jeff/N1JCM

Hello: Tried to create a USB boot device for Andy's Ham Linux v21-32bit using the ISO. Using a Sandisk Class 10 32GB USB stick and Rufus to create the bootable device. Rufus completes but resulting device will not boot. Tried same with v22BETA-64Bit and was able to boot this version but not the v21-32Bit version. Any known reason why? No v22Beta-32Bit?
