Re: Pyramid - Driver or Configuration Issue?

Hi,

this is a problem with FreeBSD. If I remember correctly the device should show up as a serial port instead of 'ugen' device. I currently don't have my device at hand, but I will check next week.

It either requires a kernel hack (adding the vendor / product id to the USB serial driver) or using usbconfig to set some device quirks, but I don't remember.

Regards,
Markus
