So high five to Linux and I certainly wont be using CNET downloads again !īus 002 Device 002: ID 090c:37a2 Silicon Motion, Inc. Loaded the necessary kernel module and tested. Back to square 1.Īfter wasting 2 hours trying to get this working in Windows I powered up Linux Mint. Finally after cleaning up my machine and finding the drivers from a source not intent in filling my machine full of rubbish I discovered that the drivers fail to work correctly for Windows 7 64bit based platforms. Even though the CNET downloader told me it was downloading at 28K in the background it was installing 8 (yes 8 plugins and other useless crap) onto all my browsers. After upgrading Windows 7 to 64bit I tried to install the drivers from CNET downloads. Unfortunately, life when running Windows is never easy. For years, I had ran my Prolific USB to Serial cable from my Windows 32bit laptop without any issues.
