Sorry, your right, - I figured that the port on the back plate wasn't connected to anything inside, I have re-disabled the motherboard settings and I am concentrating on getting the usb to serial devices working - <br>
<br>I didn't think there where even pins for a port header - but I'll check again later - I think I still have the motherboard manual (somewhere) or can download it - if I can use that it should make it easier. but if there are that will still only be 1 port so I'll still have to get the other usb to serial device going for the other STB. So I might as well try to get the usb to serial devices going anyways.
<br><br>I'm trying to compile the drivers on the cd - they makefile has these line<br><br>KINCLUDES=/usr/src/linux-2.4/include<br>DRVINCLUDES=/usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/usb/serial<br><br>my kernel is 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
, I suppose I'll have to edit these lines to match or should I just make a symlink?<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/23/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">John Pierce</b> <<a href="mailto:john.j35@gmail.com">
