Firefolk Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Dear all, I used to work with a cp201x based GPS mouse. Saldy wifipineapple does not have the kernel module kmod-usb-serial-cp210x installable through opkg. Would anybody please upload ths module, so I can use my mouse? Thanx a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi Firefolk, The module is available over opkg and the install works great for me. Install it like this: opkg update && opkg install kmod-usb-serial-cp210x If that doesn't work, do the following: wget "http://wifipineapple.com/mk5/packages/kmod-usb-serial-cp210x_3.3.8-1_ar71xx.ipk" -O /tmp/kmod-usb-serial-cp210x.ipk && opkg install /tmp/kmod-usb-serial-cp210x.ipk Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
