sub-serial devices being created as block devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the kernel creates devices for usb-serial drivers in version
2.6.20.11, it creates them as block devices in the system:

[root@uclibc ~]# ls -la  /dev/ttyUSB0
brw-rw----    1 root     root     188,   0 Dec 31 17:00 /dev/ttyUSB0

This is happening for both prolific (pl2303) usb serial devices and our
custom one that we're developing.  

Any ideas on how to make this default to the correct type of device
node? 

I'm currently able to fix it with udev (as I'm really using a completely
different name for these), but I'd by and large prefer it not being
wrong in the first place.
