Re: Problem with Newport CONEX-AGAP FTDI device on Linux

Mark -

It looks like the issue may be that the VID/PID pair (particularly the PID) may not be included in the currently running ftdi_sio driver. 

A quick Google search turned up this incantation, which may be helpful:

echo "<VID> <PID>" >  /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id

Untested, as I’m out of the office, but hopefully this may point you in the correct direction.
