Yes, no one unloads modules after devices are removed, as you really don't know if the driver is still needed or not. But, this shouldn't be an issue for you, when you replug the device in, it should be reset, with no internal, or kernel, state as to what it is in. You have to always explicitly set the line settings up again, otherwise you have no idea what it is running at. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
