Keyspan 19QW on Sony GRX
Hello list,
My hardware is a Sony PCG-GRX690. I was running Red Hat 9 on this
laptop with some success (for work reasons). Now I am able to move off
of the RH and back to my first choice of Debian.
Configuration:
Distro: Up to date Debian Sid
Kernel: 2.4.23-1-686 #1 Sun Nov 30 20:51:10 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
My problem is that I must get my Keyspan serial port (USA-19QW) working.
(I have several other questions that I will address one at a time if I
cannot get them myself:)
It looks like the 19QW is beeing seen but no firmware is avialble? This
19QW has worked on this laptop with the RH distro and its default kernel
so I know it will work here.
Here is the dmesg info as I plug in and unplug the device-
-- connected --
hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.1-1.1, assigned address 5

I found a patch for the 2.4.22 kernel on the Keyspan page, so I tried to
apply this patch to my default Debian 2.4.23 kernel. It gave me errors
so I don't think this is correct.

Thanks for any help.
