The bug went away with a newer kernel in gutsy. Follwing the bug in the
Kernel Bug Tracker it was fixed in 2.6.20-16
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7858).
Since this seems to be a bug special to the reported kernel version, I'm
marking it as invalid.
** Changed in:
i have the same problem on Thinkpad T60. Simply doing cat /dev/ttyUSB0
on two terminals hangs system. It seems that linux 2.6.21 has some fixes
for Merlin XU870 -
