I think your perception is more wrong than you could ever think. Montavista would absolutely love all serial ports to be under the ttyS* naming, especially on ARM where there is a wide variety of different possibilities - ttyAM, ttySA, ttyPXA, ttyAMA, and so the list goes on. It apparantly gives their support department real headaches. There are similar feelings from the handhelds.org community. However, despite people pressing for it, there's yet to be a *sane* *technical* *solution* to the problem. All I've seen so far is one bad hack. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
