>Description:

uftdi module does not automatically load with the FTDI FT2232C chip

>How-To-Repeat:

Boot with generic kernel, plug in a USB serial port that uses the FT2232C chip
such as the USB-16COM-RM.

>Fix:

I don't know how to fix this.

To work around, add this to /boot/loader.conf:  uftdi_load="YES"

Or run kldload uftdi, then replug the device.  (Loading the module without
replugging the device does NOT work.  Should it?)


PS.  I have one of these, and I'd be happy to test any changes.
