tried that. for "setserial /dev/ttyS0" i get "Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument" and for the other /dev/ttyS1 through /dev/ttyS4 I get: "No such device or address".

nothing there but the dev and uevent files. btw in my dmesg logs I see those lines: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled 8250_pci: Unknown symbol serial8250_unregister_port 8250_pci: Unknown symbol serial8250_resume_port 8250_pci: Unknown symbol serial8250_register_port 8250_pci: Unknown symbol serial8250_suspend_port the first one is from 8250.c I guess, but the other four lines are weird.. I tried to contact a simple external modem using the serial port but it didn't work so i am afraid something went wrong with the driver... Thank You for the help ! naziir
