Rationale: "[PATCH] 0/3 Fix serial console flow control" http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0210.1/1790.html 2.4 patches: "[PATCH] 1/3 Fix serial console flow control, serial.c" http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0210.1/1791.html "[PATCH] 2/3 Fix serial console flow control, serialP.h" http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0210.1/1792.html "[PATCH] 3/3 Fix serial console flow control, serial-console.txt" http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0210.1/1793.html 2.6 patch: "[PATCH] Fix CTS/RTS flow control in serial console" http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0310.2/1080.html I have not been able to find any feedback on those patches in the lkml archives. Also I can find no evidence that the patch made it into the 2.6.8.1 kernel. This is a shame as I found your rationale very persuasive. Do you maintain an up-to-date version of this patch? Did you get any feedback for this patch, positive or negative? Do you need people (i.e. me) to test this patch? Thanks Alex Owen
