But i cannot find any information there wether this would work on the asus wl-500x. Besides, what do you want to use serial connections to the wl-500x for? Just enabling serial connections does not help much.

wl500g <-> USB - Serial RS232 <-> RS232 microcontroller with several status functions...
A server program watches the microcontroller and sends udp broadcasts
to internal net or wait for a TCP terminal connection (small daemon process).

Hi
For general, it can work if the needet modules are compiled into the kernel what i cant tell you at the moment. I have a Belkin usb-rs232 device which is suported by linux at my pc, and also the usual cables with inbuild electronics (mostly the ftdi chip) are supported.
What Mikrocontroller do you use ? AVR,Pic, Basic Stamp ??

I want to use AVR, 90S2313 for simple solution, Mega series for more ports...
