USB/Serial Adapter driver
Hi Everybody I would like to know if anyone of you has succeded to plug into the readyNas some USB/Serial converters such as one with FTDI or Prolific chipset ? If not, maybe one of you know how...
Thank you for your help, I suceeded to cross compile and generate the drivers for FTDI and PL2303 chip using help of this excellent topic viewtopic.php?f=35&t=17521.
you need also to select generic usbserial on kernel build.
when done, create dir named serial on the ReadyNas and copy the following 3 files
then insmod begining with usbserial.ko
