Hi. I read the patch with the above name, and although it may be necessary because the structures are going away, it does not solve the problem of getting a -16 error code when releasing a port held by the serial drivers. If I am correct about this, how can I fix this problem -- if not please enlighten me as to how to release the region? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny.
