Hi all
I tried using g_serial driver for using my BeagleBoard (BB) as usb
serial gadget to connect it to windows xp host.
using this link
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/gadget_serial.txt
The command
modprobe g_serial executed properly on BB (gadget) and It gets
identified successfully on Linus host(ubuntu) when connected through
usb wire.
But
when the gadget connected to Windows XP .
Host XP identifies a new hardware in device manager ...But the step of
installing the .inf file obtained from
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/linux-cdc-acm.inf
does not succeed !!!
As i found after googling -- i changed the product ID Vendor ID in
.inf file ..as found for my gadget.
But the problem persists.!!!
Pl help .
Thanks
Nidhi

The inf file indeed has some bugs. But I doubt that is your problem.

mchpcdc.inf (and its derivatives)

FakeModemCopyFileSection=12 ; <------ add this line

[DriverInstall.nt]

CopyFiles = FakeModemCopyFileSection ; <------ right one: reference
to a section in mdmcpq.inf

If you have used the VID/PID for other experiment, then you will got
problems. You can use usbdeview to get Windows to forget about
the VID/PID combination.

Or you can use pnputil if you have WDK.

That depends on your hardware. Test it yourself and see.
good luck,
