Hi Conor and Krzysztof, I guess this is a chromium oddity, because browsing to https://hexdev.de/hexlin#hexLINSER brings the user to another headline ("hexLIN" not "hexLINSER") as long as headline "hexLINSER" can be also displayed. When using firefox, the top headline is hexLINSER as expected (at least I do). > > > > That said, calling the compatible after a linux-ism is a bit odd to me > > when the device seems to be called a "UART LIN adapter" on the page, not > > a "serdev". > > > > If there is no real, fixed model name, I would also propose to use > whatever is on the website currently and avoid Linuxism. OK, I changed it to hexLINSER on the website and in the upcoming v4 revision of this patchset. LINSER for LIN and serial, or like in "Linsen & Spätzle" :) Thanks -- Christoph
