Turns out that it does -- once you tell Minicom to change its bogus default of discarding data rather than line wrapping! Which means there can still be multiple class instances that get coupled to a given physical device; no lossage there. Sigh. It's hard sometimes to remember to apply all the right bug workarounds, when some of them are in userspace. Still, that's a needless incompatibility. Why isn't that pointing to a .../controller/spi_master:spi2 directory, so that the pathnames don't change (only symlink polarity)? - Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
