Re:-
So, let folks know that just because their cable works on W11 does not mean it will work under Linux.


Interesting, it's usually the other way around.? Just about everything works under Linux, but a lot need proprietary drivers for Windows!??? (There is always "the exception that proves the rule though"...)


I don't have a copy of your original message, but what distribution and version of Linux were you trying to use?


In any case...? This page seems it might have the solution....



(Scroll down to "Other Linux Distributions" and follow instructions.)


Or, (and very much easier...)? Get an adapter with a more mainstream chipset, FTDI is the gold standard, as each chip has a unique serial number, so you can then use Linux's "UDEV Rules" facility, to reliably create a named instance per device.

MUCH easier to manage then.? And no faffing around with kernel drivers from an unverified source.
