I have a serious problem with the MAKEDEV and setserial command. I'm=20 trying to put a lots of multimodem card into a standard linux pc=20 (Slakware 8.1). I have to associate the modem by myself with the=20 setserial command. For this, I do: setserial /dev/ttyS20 irq 10 port 0xd000 ^auto_irq ^fourport skip_test=20 autoconfig Everything works fine. The problem is that there's no enough ttyS. On= =20 my linux box, I have ttyS1 to ttyS31, but I want more of them. I triyed the /dev/MAKEDEV command (and I changed the group for uucp).=20 The new dev was created (ttyS32). I tried to make a setserial it and I= got: Cannot set serial info: Invalid argument Tried a lot of time, from different method; nothing to do. I always=20 have the same error message. I think it's my /dev/ttyS32 that doesn't=20 work (because the same instruction with a ttyS that wasn't created by m= e=20 works great). Does somebody could help me please? I just don't what to do. (and yes= ,=20 I RTFM! :) In fact, 2 books and the serial howto...
