-This serial driver currently only works with the Belkin and Peracom USB 
-Serial devices. It should also work for the Etek converter, but I do 
-not know the vendor id and device id of that device (if anyone does, 
-please let me know.)
-
-If your device is not compatible with the above models, you can try
-out the "generic" interface. This interface does not provide any type
-of control messages sent to the device, and does not support any kind
-of device flow control. All that is required of your device is that
-it has at least one bulk in endpoint, or one bulk out endpoint.
-To enable the driver to recognize your device, build the driver as
-a module and load it by the following invocation:
-	insmod usb-serial.o vendor=0x#### product=0x####
-where the #### is replaced with the hex representation of your device's
-vendor id and product id.
-
-The driver can handle enumerating the device, and sending and receiving
-data from the converter. However, since I do not have a spec for the Belkin,
-Peracom, and eTek devices, and the raw dumps from the Win98 driver are 
-confusing, and eTek keeps giving me the run around, no control signals are 
-currently handled, and the data will most likely come through on a baud
-rate that you are not expecting. So if you have these devices, do not 
-expect the correct data to show up at either end. 
-
-The major number that the driver uses is 188 so to use the driver, create
-the following nodes:
-mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
-mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
-mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
-mknod /dev/ttyUSB3 c 188 3
-
-then plug in a device and use your friendly terminal program to see what
-happens.
-
-If anyone has any problems getting the device to enumerate, or data to 
-flow through it, please contact me.
