freebsd stable - Aug 2006 - Silicon Laboratories CP2101/CP2102 usb serial adapters & FreeBSD

Hiya,

I have scoured the net today trying to find out if any kind soul 
managed to port drivers for the $subject to FreeBSD.

I can see there is already support for CP21XX in Linux, and even
in OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/plus.html).

I have a CDMA modem with this chipset, which I'd have loved to
use with FreeBSD 5.5 or 6.1.


Daniel O'Connor was making an attempt, but I did not find any
info whether he succeeded.

He sort of succeeded but the resulting driver has issues :)

You can try it here..

Originally my only test hardware was a CP2102 connected directly to a 
microcontroller so I couldn't get access to the control lines, etc.. Now 
however I have an FPGA dev. board with a CP2102 on it so I will be able to 
look at the various control signals.

I have found that the programmer sort of works but it seems to 'lag'
intially
so perhaps there is a command that needs to be sent to kick things off.
