Subject: Re: Likely issue with ch341 kernel-module/driver

I started in the morning to build the driver from the source provided
by the vendor, but it was written in the times of kernel-version 2.4,
and I got hopelessly stuck.

Wanting to take a break, I reset my setup, and VERY strangely, what I
now observe is ::

a)
I am NOT able to send anything from the embedded-system to
putty-session (nothing appears at all on the putty session).

b)
Receive is working perfectly (anything I type in the putty-session is
received fine in the embedded-application).


Not sure what the hell is going on :(

Also, as per http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/usb/serial/ch341.c?v=3.16,
the particular serial-USB-adapter device is added into the id_table,
so seems supported as per say.


Additionally, the message has changed to

###########################################################
usb 2-2: device not accepting address 8, error -71
###########################################################



Completely lost :(
