patch-2.6.11 and patch-2.6.10 don't contain the fix you are refering to. Where am I looking? > > So it seems to me that usbserial is fundamentally broken. Am I > > correct?

The change in 2.6 is that usbserial.c has dropped the semaphore altogether, and there's a work queue now as well. I'm not sure that dropping the semaphore in 2.4.latest is safe (even though not dropping it is broken), and backporting the work queue implementation may be too large. > Does anyone still use the newer 2.4 kernel releases in a > distro anymore? Irrelevant. We are concerned with what our customers are using, and I've got a customer who wants the WhiteHEAT driver working under 2.4.28. The usbserial sempahore problem is holding me up. ..Stu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo. Introducing Yahoo!
