Hi, Works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OpenWRT Mesh Potato - Village Telco version. 1. disable ttyS0 line in inittab. 2. recompile 8250.c in ../david/ directory with define fastISR disabled. 3. rmmod 8250mp 3.5 insmod serial_core if needed 4. insmod 8250new.ko 5. minicom /dev/ttyS0 WORKS :))) So now I can get to my data acquisition serial hardware over the batman mesh with a fully wireless connection !! OpenWRT ROCKS !! Thanks to all, Wiz On Tue, 23 Mar 2010, RHS Linux User wrote: > > Hi, > > Thanks.
