NAME

     uplcom — USB support for Prolific PL-2303/2303X/2303HX serial adapters driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device usb
           device ucom
           device uplcom

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
     loader.conf(5):

           uplcom_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The uplcom driver provides support for various serial adapters based on the Prolific
     PL-2303, PL-2303X and PL-2303HX USB-to-RS232 Bridge chips.

     The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).
