This device is:
idVendor 0x4348
idProduct 0x5523
There is a patch in -mm kernel tree, so I guess it goes to 2.6.24 soon. But if you don’t want to wait, here is a solution using the new ch341 usb serial driver:
wget http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b94101/ch341_drv.tar.bz2
Then extract the files and comment out lines 301 and 303 of ch341.c file and also line 35 of the tty_ioctl.c file.
Finally run ins.sh to compile and load the modules and use minicom, cu, cutecom or what you prefer to connect to the /dev/ttyUSB0 device.
I’ve seen some people trying to use pl2303 driver with a little patch to use this device. It doesn’t work.
That works! There are too much people spreading the pl2303 patch… and exactly, this didn’t work. This one works perfect!
Thank you.
i tried to install the package in Ubuntu 7.04 with 2.6.20 kernel version and it failed doing so.
How can i install the driver to my Ubuntu box?
Thanks!
Indeed, linux supports ch341 now. Remember to put pl2303 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to prevent the kernel from using it as the converter.
The correct converter should be ch341-uart.
I have this version of linux
Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008
I tried the first post steps for my HL-340 USB to Serial Converter. All the data I receive is garbage.I did not install any patch for 2.6.24. Where to find this patch?
I have set the 115200 baud rate from the GTK terminal.Here is my terminal dump.
root@kanwar-laptop:/home/kanwar/Desktop/ch341_drv# /bin/sh ins.sh
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/kanwar/Desktop/ch341_drv modules

I also tried to add a line
blacklist pl2303 in blacklist file.Still the same.
Any help will be appreciated. I am new to linux and i have just started to play with it.
Thanks.
Rebooting the system will fix this issue.
okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Is there any chance of putting HL-340 with this vendor id and product id, working in MAC OS X?
