I saw that other drivers take a similar approach, just tend to stay away from low numbers that are used by 8250 and its child (that can be connected more or less everywhere). Perhaps in these udev times the serial minor number should be allocated dinamicaly. Do you think this makes sense? > > I notice a steep increase in serial drivers.

For next Xmas I hope in a WLAN chip or something like that. ;-) -- Christian Pellegrin, see http://www.evolware.org/chri/ "Real Programmers don't play tennis, or any other sport which requires you to change clothes.
