From: Lars Poeschel <poesc...@lemonage.de> This is obiviously a bad patch. Do not merge it! I have a GSM Modem (Quectel M95 Revision: M95AR01A11) that I have a problem with when using the n_gsm mux line discipline. After attaching the line discipline and opening a muxed channel, the open never returns. The problem is that the tty code waits for the TIOCM_CD flag to be set. According to the 3GPP TS 07.10 specification the modem can set this virtual flag by setting the DV bit in it's modem status control message. My modem sends the modem status command, but this DV bit is not set. With this patch the modem and the whole mux is working fine. Another way makeing all this work is setting the carrier_raised function to NULL. The tty code assumes that everything is alright then. My question is: What could be the best way to support this modem in mailine kernel ? I do not see a way to detect this buggy modem inside the line discipline and use this patch's method as a work around then. But the detection would only be possible using AT command before the line discipline is attached or using the muxed channel after the mux is set up.
