In Hardy, I have to use the option driver:
modprobe option
echo -n '1199 0025' >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
I use these udev rules to automate this:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1199", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0025", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe option"
SUBSYSTEM=="drivers", DEVPATH=="/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1", RUN+="/path/to/new_id 1199 0025 %p"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1199", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0025", SYMLINK+="modem"
This is the script called "new_id":
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 3 ]; then
echo 'too few arguments' >&2
exit 1
fi
VENDOR="${1}"
PRODUCT="${2}"
DEVPATH="${3}"
echo -n "${VENDOR} ${PRODUCT}" >"/sys/${DEVPATH}/new_id"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe that proper support from Sierra is forthcoming ... ?
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Forest
