It was posted on the ser2net Sourceforge forum. That list has very low traffic and not many replies to questions. I was wondering if anyone here has actually tried it.

I need to support the two onboard serial ports along with 4 more on a multiport card. From the kernel config you referenced above, it looks like it requires a recompiled kernel with CONFIG_SERIAL_MANY_PORTS and CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTIPORT set. I there a quick how-to for setting up the development environment for just recompiling the Bering-uClibc kernel without rebuilding the whole distribution from scratch?
