Edgeport/8 linux drivers not loading

USB Edgeport

I’m having issues bringing up the edgeport/8 on a CentOS system running kernel 2.6.18-164.

Device shows up using lsusb but it doesn’t map to any /dev/ttyUSB*.

here’s the outptut from ‘cat /proc/bus/usb/devices’ related to this device:


D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=1608 ProdID=0288 Rev= 1.51
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   1 Ivl=255ms

T:  Bus=02 Lev=02 Prnt=27 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 28 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=1608 ProdID=0244 Rev= 1.00
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms

Any help would be appreciated.

That Edgeport/8 isn’t supported on kernels older than approximately 2.6.23. Is it feasible to update the kernel to 2.6.23.x or newer?
