* FTDI spontanteous disconnect/reconnect @ 2014-04-03 17:03 Sven Lahr 2014-04-03 18:01 ` Greg KH 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Sven Lahr @ 2014-04-03 17:03 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org Hi there I work for a company that produces a system that contains a device with an FTDI 232R chip, as well as a Linux (Debian) computer that the device is attached to. We often get reports from our customers that the device is disconnected, and then reconnected shortly thereafter. I have searched the web, and apparently quite a lot of people experience this when they use the Linux driver. I wonder if there is any plan to fix this. From what I can tell the Linux driver hasn't been updated in 5 years. Below I have pasted the relevant part of my kernel log.

As Mats said, the driver is developed in the Linux kernel directly, like almost all kernel drivers are. There's no way we have individual pages for each Linux driver, or have bug trackers like that, there are just too many drivers that we support to do that. The linux-usb@vger.kernel.org mailing list is the place the driver is discussed if you have any questions about it or the USB subsystem. hope this helps, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
