No, you did good, thanks a lot. > The changelog entry for 2.4.27-rc1 is rather terse: > > USB: Update mct_u232 I still cannot figure my interface to Marcelo, he doesn't like my changelog format and discards update descriptions. I tried several... So this is what was changed, for the list archives: The main problem I tried to fix with this update was that if by any chance the baud rate in tty was set matching to what an application wanted, the driver would not try to program the device, but the device was NOT set so it would not communicate with the RS-232 peripheral. It mostly failed for people trying to connect to Sun equipment, because it defaults to 9600, just like Linux does. Previous releases fixed two more things. If your GPS was transmitting (say, updates), and you plugged it in onto a port where getty was enabled, the system would oops when line discipline echoed the GPS stream. If your GPS was mute or the port not enabled for logins, it didn't happen. It also was easy to trigger with PPP and some PDAs (Zaurus?) The third bug only happened to those using terminals to log in. The symptom was that bash prompts were overwriting each other instead of scrolling the screen when you hit Enter several times. This all should be gone in 2.4.27-rc1. > Aside: Just for fun (?), since I noticed some changes to the 'pl2303' module, > I also ran some (similar but less extensive) tests with my IOGear GUC232A > USB/RS-232 adapter.

That was seen as extra NUL characters by some people (maybe HW control was a factor, I don't know). -- Pete ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
