[Wine] FTDI USB->Serial a Wine

[ladaan]

I've got USB->Serial converter:


Code:
Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC


and I need communicate with this converter to devices(Kirk) via specific Kirk windows software.
I have mapped converter:

Code:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 com1


but I can't connect to it. If I connect the Kirk device directly through mapped /dev/ttyS0, the device get connected.
Any idea how I could debug USB->serial in wine or do you think it is wine related issue?

Thanks.

Does it work in native Linux apps? Wine can't communicate if your
native OS doesn't have the drivers for it.

Yes, it does work. I can connect to serial port at Mikrotik RouterBoard through minicom with this USB->serial converter for example. There is no problem with the linux driver(kernel module). The driver is included my kernel(2.6.24) already.

It could be one of those cases where Wine doesn't work with USB->serial ports: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8783

Thanks for pointing at the link. Actually, it is the case I have.
