Hi Everyone,

I just tried my usb to serial adapter on FreeBSD 7.1 (GENERIC), now
here's is my problem :

dmesg:


> ugen1: <vendor 0x4348 product 0x5523, class 255/0, rev 1.10/2.50, addr 2> on uhub0

 
/var/log/messages:


> Mar 25 19:26:29 valhalla root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x4348 product 0x5523 bus uhub0
> Mar 25 19:26:29 valhalla kernel: ugen1: <vendor 0x4348 product 0x5523, class 255/0, rev 1.10/2.50, addr 2> on uhub0


Now I'm pretty sure it's a Prolific 2303, as it works with the windows driver for the pl2303, I looked in the kernel config
and there is a prolific 2303 module and it is being loaded. I can't tell you much about it as I found it lying around, its a 
little black box about the size of a match box with no writing on it at all.  

Please if anyone can help your assistance will be most appreciated.
