Hello, I am a little bit puzzled by the serial port on my laptop.
When I run setserial -g /dev/ttyS0, it seems to recognize the UART, the IRQ, and all that. when I run statserial, it recognizes the serial port on the pcmcia card (/dev/ttyS1). If I force statserial on /dev/ttyS0, it gives me a 'TIOCMGET failed: I/O error' Looking at the dmesg, there is no trace of ttyS0, just the tty01 when I insert the pcmcia modem. I would like to know if the kernel has recognized a serial port (not the pcmcia one), how it is configured, and also what the TIOCMGET error means. Ultimately, I would like to use it for a VT520 Text Terminal, but this seem so far away. I am trying to find my way out of the Serial-Howto. Thanks for any guidance. Matthieu
