Does not work with Linux
The device is not recognised by the Linux kernel (2.6.22-3-686 by Debian). This is the lspci output:
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0df7:0900 Mobile Action Technology, Inc.
I tried to add the above ID into the pl2303 or the ftdi_sio kernel modules (source files are into the drivers/usb/serial/ directory, files pl2303.c, pl2303.h, ftdi_sio.c and ftdi_sio.h). But I got a Segmentation fault whenever a program tries to open the /dev/ttyUSB0 device.
The i-gotU Desktop Windows program seems to not work with Windows 98 into a Qemu virtual machine (installed the driver and the Desktop program).
