Hardware device has no assigned driver
by robert644 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YMZ7)
Hello,
I have hardware device that accepts serial input over two wires (nmea0183) and outputs the signal over USB.
Unfortunately no driver loads when I attach the device. I can see other devices such as a GPS puck, load drivers and function. Not this device. It seems to not have anything associated with it. I am sure it could use the same driver as the GPS puck, if only to make a small amount of progress into getting this thing to work.
My understanding so far is the unique device ID needs to be assigned to a driver already present ( in the kernel ? ).
Thanks.
