Hi Frank

The device can work with the standard USB serial device drivers on a Windows or Linux host, so there's no need for a custom host driver. Included are a micro Linux driver which just associates a USB VID/PID to the usbserial driver, and a Windows INF file to do the same for that host. The Linux driver requires a 2.6 kernel, while the Windows INF file should work with any version since Windows 2000.
Which 2.6 kernel did you test this with? I just tried my slightly out
of date 2.6.26-rc5 and it does not compile. Looking at
http://lxr.linux.no/ there has been some reworking going on in this
area. It might compile with 2.6.25. It would be nice to document what
is know to work.
    Thanks
        Andrew

My main development machine is running Fedora 6 (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6) with GCC 4.1.2 I can try to compile the code with a couple different machines and kernels later this week. Please send the failed output of your compilation. That might help.
