I successfully used my Keyspan USA-19QW USB-to-serial dongle back in
2007 running Ubuntu.
After several OS reinstalls, I am now on Debian Squeeze, but I am having
some problems getting it to work.
Is there some user error involved here or should I open a bug?
- After I plug in the USB-to-serial dongle (dmesg):
