I am running the latest version of Ubuntu and have been having this
problem with Ubuntu for a while.
When I first started using Ubuntu I did not have any trouble getting
vmware to recognize my Serial to USB cable. But for the last few
releases it has not worked.
Ubuntu recognizes it:
Here is the dmesg listing of when I connect to it:
[ 764.936006] usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and
address 3
[ 765.086564] usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 765.090727] usbserial_generic 2-3:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[ 765.090833] usb 2-3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Here is the 'lsusb' listing:
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1453:4026 Radio Shack 26-183 Serial Cable
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
But vmware does not recognize it. Any idea? or should I be asking
someplace else?
Thanks,
David
