Currently my driver supports for one port (/dev/ttyS0). However i want to use the same physical port for 2 virtual ports.I am NOT sending two type of data simultaneously. I want to first reigister my driver for /dev/ttyS0. When the kernel has booted ,i want to disable it. Then i want to enable the driver to register for say /dev/ttyS1. in short i don't want the console to have controle over the serial port. The point of doing such is that i want my serial port to be free. I can telnet to this potr from other machine and test few stuff. i hope i have properly mentioned my problem. plz let me know how should i proceed. thanks in advance. regards, rahul ____________________________________________________ Send a rakhi to your brother, buy gifts and win attractive prizes.
