I have also been using another serial patch that for unk reasons, also helps the usb-serial case here, but vger won't let me repost that without stripping off the headers. That patch has some resemblance to this:8250-clear-on-read-bits-LSR-MSR where I usually replace spaces with dashes so I don't have to use "to surround the name" in my scripts. So these test kernels will have both patches. I'll let you know how they work later this morning. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
