Use an USB-serial port converter

[ebk71]

I have found my solution:
Had to :
-wget http://oleg.wl500g.info/1.9.2.7-9/modules-1.9.2.7-9.tgz
-tar modules-1.9.2.7-9.tgz
-modprobe works !!!!!!!
My adapter is now attached



I'm using Oleg's FW 1.9.2.7-9 on a WL-HDD. I'm sorry for posting in this area but it seems that the use of wl-hdd has died a little.

From what I have found the usbserial en pl2303 module should work on this firmware. I have tried different commands that I found on different places. The last I tried was #insmod pl2303.0 which resulted in:

pl2303.o: pl2303.o: unresolved symbol usb_serial_deregister
pl2303.o: pl2303.o: unresolved symbol usb_serial_register
and on usbserial:
segmentation fault

Also tried modprobe what must work:
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file //opt/lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.dep (No such file or directory)

Or do I have to compile my own kernel with this drivers? As my question markes out I'm a novice, so would it be wise to go compiling my own kernel? Or is it just asking for more trouble.........

This forum is my last resort, if I can't solve this I have to give up :-( (I also tried this on a TonidoPlug2 with no success)
