Greg, do you have a usb multi-port serial card? Can you possibly give
this a try, and show us "tree /dev/serial"?
I've been following this thread, and don't fully understand it
but have what may be a related problem. I'll describe it here
just so that you can keep it in mind in case it's relevant
or if you want some information on my device.
I put my problem on hold some months ago and will eventually
get back to it.
I've a Digi Edgeport 4/16. It's got 16 serial ports.
It's been a while and I don't really know what I'm doing
with udev but as I recall the device
has an internal USB hub and the kernel seems to discover the
different "plugs" on the "hub" in a different order at various times.
(There's either 2 or 4 serial ports on each internal "endpoint",
I forget.)
Hence, there's no persistent correspondence between physical
serial port and /dev device. I tried writing some udev rules
akin to the persistent rule generation for network devices,
posted the results here, and got what seemed to be better
ideas back I've not followed up on.
Anyhow, I tried "tree /dev/serial/" to post the results
here and there is no /dev/serial. Let me know if you'd
like some other information on the device.
Debian etch
Linux 2.6.18-6-686
udev 0.105-4
