Even for subscribers, we screen the first post. After that, it will go right through. Had problems with spammers subscribing.

I am not sure if this is going to end up being a double post, but I
replied half an hour ago and it didn’t go through so I figured I would
try again…sorry if this is a repeat!

But when I check the list of all usb devices it lists all of the
information for the usb devices (including my Hub, keyboard, and
mouse) but it does not list all of the information for the Moxa
device. What it does have for the Moxa device is this:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 110a:1151 (blank description)

I am not sure what this means - I had the device show up as ttyUSB0 on
my laptop but I do not know if this means that it could be tty7 for
this device?

Also when I check the driver messages it outputs this:

[ 3189.774444] usb 1-1.3: USB disconnect, address 6
[ 3192.058013] usb 1-1.3: new full speed USB device using musb_hdrc
and address 7
[ 3192.198150] usb 1-1.3: device v110a p1151 is not supported
[ 3192.203674] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=110a,
idProduct=1151
[ 3192.212188] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
[ 3192.220550] usb 1-1.3: Product: UPort 1150I
[ 3192.225677] usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: Moxa Technologies Co., Ltd.

Which shows me that the device has at least been recognized there. I
feel like it is my device driver installation that I am having the
issue with, but I could be wrong. I was mostly wondering if anyone had
tried to install something like this before and if they had needed lib/
modules/2.6.32/build and if they had where they had gotten from. I
have also contacted Moxa Support but I do not know what information
they will be able to provide on the matter.

Ask them if they provide a Linux driver.

Paying a visit to http://www.linux-usb.org, I was able to find this company typically makes multi-port serial controllers, but unable to find that particular device id: http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids

A bit more google searching based on the type of device let me to a site with some source for a Linux driver:
http://mtsc.moxa.com:8888/Software/HA/USB/U1110_1130_1150/Linux_2.6/

It would have been nice if they had submitted their code into Linux itself, so that you didn’t have this mess. You can acquire the source/patches for your kernel and then use the above sources to build yourself a driver.
