And they have now recommended that you disable it, according to their latest kernel advisary, but that isn't the topic on hand here... > Richard Gooch writes: > > So, I would gather from this that, the USB serial drivers, which > currently register ACM serial ports under usb/acm/%d should be registering > them under ttys/U%d instead, under the devfs standard that now appears > to have been agreed upon.

The usb-serial driver and the USB ACM driver are separate, and use different devfs names and different major/minor numbers. The ACM driver is for USB modems only. Do you want a modem at ttys/U%d ? And then where should the usb-serial driver be at? Currently it is at usb/tts/%d . Shouldn't _that_ be at ttys/U%d according to your above scheme? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
