Hi All,

I have a Dell 5100 and I'm trying to use a USB/serial convertor.

I get the following messages when I plug the device in:

drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for PL-2303
pl2303 4-1.4.4:1.0: PL-2303 converter detected
usb 4-1.4.4: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new driver pl2303
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor
driver v0.12

Attempts to use the serial port gives me the following message:

PL-2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303_open - failed submitting interrupt urb, error -28


If you're using EHCI, try the following: (execute as root)

% rmmod ehci_hcd
% modprobe uhci_hcd

or

% modprobe ohci_hcd

This forces the adapter to operate in USB 1.1 mode. Then plug the
device in again. Hope this helps.

uhci_hcd did it! Thanks!
