Using the nmdm driver for serial console debugging in vmware I was really surprised to notice that the thing actually doesn't work at all (anymore).
As far as I could find out it only supported one pair. Also after a close, when I would do a "ls -al /dev/nmdm*", I would get a kernel panic. I rewrote nmdm.c to the basic point that it works fine for me. One can now create multiple pairs and I haven't got any panics or problems whatsoever. I also took the liberty to remove the ancient K&R requirements at the same time now there is a large code change anyway. Please review the patch at: http://www.ripe.net/home/mark/files/nmdm.diff I would appreciate any feedback ranging from: 'hey, you should do it like this!' to 'committed!'. I only used/tested this on -CURRENT btw. Thanks to Julian for writing the driver initially.
