USB Driver - Kernel 2.6.x


Hi

I'm having the source code for usb to rs232 converter driver written for linux kernel 2.4 When I tried to run this in linux kernel 2.6, the object file and .ko file is created but it was unable to load this module in to the kernel.The error mainly was that a group of generic functions are not getting loaded like
generic_open
generic_close
generic_read_bulk_callback
etc
From our sir we came to know that these functions are actually defined in some usb driver file (to be specified in the configuration space)which we don't know where to get.

I am a beginner in linux and doing my project in the same.Please inform me if the information is not sufficient.please reply, it is urgent

Yours faithfully
Anoop N

What would be beneficial at this point would be at least a distribution. That said, you've posted this in the Member Intro forum which is incorrect. You'd have known this if you had read the only sticky in this forum. Specirically, this section:
Quote:
Please note that this forum is ***NOT*** for asking technical questions. if you are new to LinuxQuestions.org please feel free to say hello here, but we'd request that you ask any Linux questions in a more suitable forum. If you do not know where to post your question, go for "Linux - General" or if you suspect it's probably a very simple question, try "Linux - Newbie". After you've used the Search features first though!
Also, please do not mark your threads as "Urgent" or anything of this nature. Everyone at LQ is a volunteer, and your question receives precendence over none. If you need immediate help with a guarantee, I would reccomend purchasing a distribution with a professional support package.

That said, welcome to LQ

BTW: Please do not re-post your question in another forum. It's already reported and a mod will move it eventually.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Programming and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

I have also renamed it to "USB Driver - Kernel 2.6.x"
