45 .Nd USB support for serial devices based on the FTDI chips
47 To compile this driver into the kernel,
48 place the following lines in your
49 kernel configuration file:
50 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
55 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
56 module at boot time, place the following line in
58 .Bd -literal -offset indent
64 driver provides support for RS-232 (and possibly RS-485) virtual COM
65 port functionality in various FTDI chips:
67 .Bl -dash -compact -offset indent
69 FT8U100AX multi-function hub controller chip
71 FT8U232AM USB UART chip
73 FT232 series USB UART chips
75 FT2232 series dual USB UART/FIFO chips
80 driver doesn't support any other serial protocol supported by these chips.
81 These protocols might be supported by libftdi userspace library.
83 The device is accessed through the
85 driver which makes it behave like a
