Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: usb: serial: fixed how to provide vendor and product id
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 21:53:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427316814-22276-1-git-send-email-marek@goldelico.com> (raw)

From: "H. Nikolaus Schaller" <hns@goldelico.com>

While trying to test the Pyra GSM/GPS/3G module I had reconfigured
the USB interface by mistake and therefore needed to run a different
USB driver than CSC-ACM. It turned out that I need the "usbserial" driver.

This file is an official description how to use it:
Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt

But it is outdated. The parameters vendor= and product= are no longer
available since ca. 3.12 which means that documentation is lagging behind
quite some time.

Here was the solution:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175499

  insmod usbserial vendor=0x#### product=0x####

becomes (first #### is vendor, second is product)

  modprobe usbserial
  echo #### #### >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/new_id

This patch changes the documentation file as needed.
