[chirp_users] CHIRP ON LINUX, UNABLE TO FIND COM PORT FOR BAOFENG

[David Ranch]

I'll chime in here that counterfeit Prolific USB to serial devices 
*usually* just work in Linux.  I have seen a few times where one of two 
of the cables I have just seem to stop working but if I completely 
unplug both sides of the cable, wait 10 seconds, and re-connect boths 
sides, this usually resolves the issue.

Go to www.miklor.com and they tell you how to install a legacy driver for the chip which will recognize the radio with your computer attached.  You can also go into your operating system and tell it not to automatically update that particular driver when new versions of the operating system are installed.  Chris Knowles, N1CAK
