A patch for the Prolific USB serial driver
Authored by: ruebenschuss on Oct 24, '03 04:14:28PM

I'm trying to connect a Sony CMD-J5 mobile phone to the Mac and talk to it via "GSM Remote" App.
I've experienced a bloody hell of problems and since the original Sony USB-Cable uses the Prolific 2303 USB to serial I post it in this thread.
Its not easy to find the Installer of the Kernel Module because Prolific doesn't show it on their website any more. I found version 1.0.3 somewhere else.
After installing it didn't work and I got the error
USBF: 182. 65 AppleUSBOHCI[0x30aa000]::MakeDevice error setting address. err=0xe00002ed device=
0x32be200 - releasing device
in the dmesg.
There's a site of the Apple Developer Connetion to update the USBFamily KEXT. Even for the latest 10.2.8 Kernel and G5 Macs. I wonder if Panther wil have it built in.

This is where I stand today, I'll keep you informed about any progress. I do also appreciate any help on this.

cheers, Joachim
