Hello. I personally would like to see a patch applied to CM9 that removes the USB device whitelist. If one attaches a non-HID device, dmesg reports that the device is "unsupported", however, that may not always be the case. For example, my USB to serial adapter should theoretically work without issue, and I can't seem to find a logical explanation to leave it in place. Currently, the whitelist checks against a pair of whitelists hardcoded in C, so, theoretically, fixing/modding to remove the whitelist should be no more difficult than skipping the check for a device's vendor/product ID in whatever functions verify support in the whitelist, or having the whitelist always return a device's ID as being valid.

That unsupported message shows up on mine but I have used a couple of different USB serial adaptors and they work fine with Slick USB terminal.
the trick is to reboot with the serial adaptor plugged in.
