usb serial device for older system...

[Xen]

Sorry for abusing this list,

But I wonder if there would be anyone technically inclined enough.......









I have a CH340 USB relais. This is run using the usbserial.ko and 
ch341.ko device drivers.

On Ubuntu 16.04 this device is recognised instantly and works.

But on an older 2.6.32 system (NAS) I can load the modules just fine...

But the device is not given a /dev/ttyUSB# device.

When I search for the device in /sys based on its usb number that I get 
from dmesg,

And cat all the files there, it turns out to register something under 
189, X.

Normally USB serial devices go under 188, X.


Now I know that 188 means "ttyUSB" and 189 means "usb_device" so that's 
not much help.

How do I go about troubleshooting why it does not hook onto the CH341 
driver?

[   20.012994] usb 3-1.1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0

So my driver on the other machine does not detect the ch341-uart 
converter


attached to the USB port, while the USB device itself is recognised...

So I wonder what needs to happen before a

"MAJOR=188
MINOR=5"

is recognised?
