Hello people!

I write you because I have got a problem with the uplcom driver
on FreeBSD 9.0, I tried a lot of different things, read all I found,
manpages, forums, irc, google but still not able to solve my problem.

I need to connect to my remote Alix board,
the remote console setup is 19200 8N1.
I am using a short USB Prolific Tec.. serial cable adapter with a
NULL modem cable, the last one plugged one side to the Alix board,
the other side to the adapter cable.

Under Linux Debian everything is fine, so the hardware and cables
should be ok, under Linux I used minicom and cu and tip without problems.
With FreeBSD and NetBSD, big problems..the result is always
the same, I can receive but I cannot transmit.

(working as root)
*cu -t -s 19200 -l /dev/cuaU0
write: Device not configured
(I can't transmit but I can receive the output if I reboot the remote
alix board)
*minicom
test1 ----> Cannot open /dev/ttyU0!
test2 ----> Cannot open /dev/cuaU0!
(in a popup box)

#----

A bit of my enviroment and some command output (commands by root):
I am using FreeBSD 9.0 with kernel and world compiled today with the last source
updated with csup. The laptop is a Lenovo IBM Thinkpad T61. 4Gbyte of RAM,
HD 40% used. Shell bash, X graphical enviroment with Fluxbox, the problem
exist even within the shell without load Xorg.

I tried to change the above parameters with "stty" by
hand using cuaU0, cuaU0.init and cuaU0.lock before using cu, tip
and minicom. I tried different combinations to the parameters of
the connections but still the problem persist.

My problem is exactly the same to that reported here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2011-July/010443.html

If I try to do:
sysctl hw.usb.ucom.debug=15

I see in dmesg after "cu -t -s 19200 -l /dev/cuaU0":

Do you have any idea where to give a look to fix my problem?
Do you need other information?
I suspect that the device is continuously disconnecting and reconnecting
in background...but it is just a suspect.
I run out of resources and brain but I still need to solve my problem
and connect with my remote Alix board using FreeBSD or NetBSD.

Thank you,
best regards
