2 dongles in a Linux Machine

[Todd]

Hi Geniuses!

It's been a while since I've been here.

I added a Linux machine on my W7 PC, and don't use the PC much anymore. I have two dongles, one of which is dedicated to an APCO 25 Phase two trunking receiver. I'd like to use my second dongle on the Linux machine for ADB-S/Plane plotter. Anyone know how to work with 2 dongles of the same manufacture and serial number in Linux?

Thanks
Todd

What flavor of linux are you using? There's a program called rtl-eeprom that will allow you to change parameters (such as the serial # and vendor ID, amogst others) in the RTL dongle. The manpage for that is here:

If you do use that program, be careful! You could brick the dongle.
