Need help with ftdi_sio drivers

[christerj77]

Thank you, i hope others also have use of the steps you have posted, i know i will because i guess this will have to be done each time there is a firmware update.

May not be needed every firmware update, only if the kernel changes.

Hi,

I'm trying to run openhab (http://www.openhab.org) on my Readynas Ultra 4 running RAIDiator 4.2.24, and one of the things needed for this is the FTDI driver for the Plugwise (http://www.plugwise.com) energy monitoring sockets.

I've followed the steps proposed by chirpa using the GPL sources from http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... WW_src.zip, and both the build and the install_modules seem to work fine. However when trying the modload I'm getting the same message as chirpa did:

modprobe: can't load module usbserial (kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): invalid module format

I guess this is due to the missing ReadyNAS .configure file in the GPL sources (at least I couldn't find it). Can someone please help me on this / has tried this on 4.2.24 as well ?

Thx,
Max

Found it myself...
had to netgearize (included in the GPL files)

../netgearize_kernel.sh

and use the correct path for module installation

make modules
make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/
