Basically, as of a bit before svn10923 (I'm currently running v24 mega 10923), eko added support for working usbserial and ftdi_sio.
Given these, I can load pl2303 from ipkg, and I can receive characters from the serial port, just not send any:
load:
usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter detected
usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
errors on character sending:
pl2303.c: pl2303_read_int_callback - usb_submit_urb failed with result -22
pl2303.c: pl2303_read_int_callback - usb_submit_urb failed with result -22
pl2303.c: pl2303_read_int_callback - usb_submit_urb failed with result -22
I got pl2303.o from ipkg. Driver is:
<6>pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver v0.11
kernel_version=2.4.30
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21940 Feb 3 2007 /jffs/lib/modules/2.4.30/pl2303.o
It looks like a module mismatch (2.4.30 for pl2303.o vs 2.4.36 for the kernel).
So, my reward is $25 for whoever can make this work, and another $25 to get this in the standard distribution (ipkg server, or standard dd-wrt distro). I can send money via paypal to the account/person of your choice.
Thanks,
Marc

It works, thanks, you already win the first $25 :)
(I typoed the original message, and left out the second $25 which was for getting this in the standard distribution (either via ipkg to replace the bad module out there, or directly in the standard dd-wrt)).
But basically, you already solved my need, thank you. If you'd like to stop here, PM me a paypal address for the first half. If you're able to get this into a standard location so that others can benefit (i.e. no one should have to find this thread to get working usb to serial ), you get the second half (or someone else can do that too). While you're at it, it'd be cool to also rebuild/push the other serial usb to serial modules in ipkg, which I don't think worth either, but that's up to you.
You can also opt for me to send the money to your favourite dd-wrt developer :)

A big thanks to rkozola and Eko for the original usb and usb serial core support. Things are now working, and rkozola added the new modules he built on the drivers page.
), you get the second half (or someone else can do that too). While you're at it, it'd be cool to also rebuild/push the other serial usb to serial modules in ipkg, which I don't think worth either, but that's up to you.
