I need ftdi_sio.ko - please help

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

i need ftdi_sio (and probably usbserial.ko) for an usb serial reader. The 
packages on the feed dont contain these files, although I installed all libusb 
and ftdi packages.

Could you probably help me out?

Thanks in advance, regards

Hi! Could you please write what are you going to do? I've understood that you 
you want to plug-in some device.. What is the device?

Hi,

I want to run oscam on the optware enabled router. oscam is running fine, but i 
have got a problem with the needed smartcard readers, and without readers oscam 
is useless. I am using this device: 

http://www.hm-sat-shop.de/programmer/smartmouse-easymouse-2-usb-premium-programm
er.html

It requires insmod ftdi_sio.ko (or modprob), but after installing all packages 
I could find on the feed ftdi_sio.ko was not anywhere on the router.

I found the file from other distributions and for example for ASUS WL-500g 
custom firmware. But I can not use this on my RT-N56U with 
RT-N56U_1.0.1.7f-p9-mips32 ... insmod rejected!

Any idea? Would highly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

if I succeed...

Hi there!

It seems the module was successfully loaded! =)

# cd /
# wget -c http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44733876/utilits/usbserial.tar.gz -O- | tar 
-zx
# insmod /opt/lib/modules/2.6.21/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko 
# insmod /opt/lib/modules/2.6.21/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko 

Actually you can put these modules to any other place on disk, but load them in 
this order. If there are any errors use:

# dmesg | tail

If you want them to be loaded on boot you need:

# mv /opt/etc/init.d/K01system /opt/etc/init.d/S01system
# ipkg install nano
(maybe already installed)
# nano /opt/etc/init.d/S01system
and add like in this example:

#!/bin/sh

mod_serial=/opt/lib/modules/2.6.21/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
mod_ftdi=/opt/lib/modules/2.6.21/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko

func_start()
{
    echo "Start system tweak"
    # insert your custom code below
    insmod ${mod_serial}
    insmod ${mod_ftdi}
}

func_stop()
{
    echo "Stop system tweak"
    # insert your custom code below
    rmmod ${mod_ftdi}
    rmmod ${mod_serial}
}

case "$1" in
start)
    func_start
    ;;
stop)
    func_stop
    ;;
restart)
    func_stop
    func_start
    ;;
*)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

Hi,
I'm trying to get a newly bought Tellstick to work with the router (optware and 
telldus-core package) and I need these two files. I downloaded the files from 
the post above but all I get is the error:
cant insert -------.ko: invalid module format.

I have no clue of what to do! Think you could help me?
