That is clearly another thing and would probably need to be demonstrated. Anyway, the AT* problem[1] doesn't require a user action and the fix proposed (if correct) would fix the real AT* problem instead. [1] I don't call it a bug, it's rather a lack of functionality, we just don't seem to support dial-in Hayes modems with serial console. I don't see any FUD here. -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
