#654: request for usbserial module for radio range testing
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  Quozl        |       Owner:  dilinger 
     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new      
 Priority:  low          |   Milestone:  Untriaged
Component:  kernel       |    Keywords:           
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Please add to the kernel configuration:

 {{{
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y
 }}}

 This would be helpful for radio range testing, as one of the testers
 currently has access to a 3G wireless USB device that works with
 ''usbserial.ko''.  It would allow online testing of a mesh separate from
 nearby buildings.

 For what it is worth, the kernel that works with this device on a
 different system has the following enabled by chance:

 {{{
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_ARK3116=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_BELKIN=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DIGI_ACCELEPORT=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_EMPEG=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FUNSOFT=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_IPAQ=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_IR=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_EDGEPORT=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_EDGEPORT_TI=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GARMIN=m
 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_PDA=m
