Talk:USB peripherals

Are there any USB Modems that have been demonstrated to work with the OLPC? --198.152.13.67 17:33, 30 November 2007 (EST)Ken Hackbarth

To my knowledge this has not been done. But the laptops can you can used a LAN cable adapter if you don't have wireless 217.33.237.167 17:41, 30 November 2007 (EST)

What USB to serial adapters are known to work, and how have you used them? I've tried a Keyspan USA19HS and F5U409 and neither seem to. I'm trying to get serial up under java. I've got a stack of jdk1.5.0_13, comm 3.0 and rxtx2.0-7pre2. This seems to be a valid stack -- at least java doesn't error. But the only serial port I see is ttyS0, which I think is the legacy development port. When I plug a USB/serial into a port /dev/ shows some new devices usbdev2.x_epyy, where x seems to be a count related to how many times I've plugged something in, and y = 00,01,02,03,81,82. also I get a message visible in dmesg like 'new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6'. so the system is recognizing that something happened, but I can't seem to get to it to use it.
