I think I found the problem.  I enabled debug in the ftdi_sio driver and
saw that it is echoing back what I type.  It's status flags seems to be
jive with what I found on the net as being okay.  But this guy [1]
mentions that the exact problem I'm having (subset: CTRL-C not making it
to RedBoot) is caused by flow control being enabled and the gw2348-4
doesn't use it.

So it looks like the FTDI cable either doesn't support disabling flow
control, or ftdi_sio isn't setting the flow control to none properly...

However, this is mostly academic since I found a neat hack [2] to probe
for the board's ip, then telnet into Redboot and send CTRL-C within a 2
second window.  Between this and tftp, I should be able to do everything
I need to do.
