NAME
uslcom - Silicon Laboratories CP2101/CP2102/CP2103/CP2104/CP2105 based USB serial adapter

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

device usb
device ucom
device uslcom

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

    uslcom_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
The uslcom driver supports Silicon Laboratories CP2101/CP2102/CP2103/CP2104/CP2105 based USB serial adapters.

The datasheets for the CP2101/CP2102/CP2103 list the maximum supported baud rate as 921,600. Empirical testing has shown that the rates 1,228,800 and 1,843,200 also work, at least on some hardware, so the driver allows setting those rates.
