Linux kernel recompiling to include USB-serial convertion
Posted by: henry ()

The option "USB Serial Converter support" has <M> and I tried to include it by type "Y", however, the same message appears


"This feature depends on another which has been configured as
module. As a result, this feature will be configured as a module"

I am putting this question on forum soon

Thanks

Henry,
Try turning on the "USB Serial Converter support" option near the top of
that menu.

Can I ask you to post these questions to the forum from now on? That way
the posts can be vetted by other members of our support team, as well as
benefit other customers.

Regards,
Andre
