Hello Folks
I need usb_serial module loaded, but it doesn't seem to be available?

Hmm, so I can remove usb_storage but can't insert it again - perhaps
the same is true for usb_serial? What should I use to load
usb_storage and usb_serial? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,

The problem is that insmod need the path and the file name, or needs to
be run in the directory containing the module, and the full file name.
(usb_serial.ko) In most cases, you are better off using modprobe instead
- it only needs the module name, and will take care of loading any other
modules the module you are trying to load needs.
It is like the difference between using rpm to install a package, or
using yum to install it.
Hi Mikkel
Thanks for following up - this is what I get with modprobe (which leads
to the question: what do I yum install to get usb_serial?).
[root@morgansmachine ~]# modprobe usb_serial
FATAL: Module usb_serial not found.

I seem to have usb_storage installed (and working fine) but not
usb_serial? Any ideas how I go about getting it? Or, is it somewhere
and modprobe doesn't know where for some reason?
Regards,
Morgan.
