HELP: cannot get serial info: inapropriated ioctl for device?????
hello,
since some weeks i have lost the usage of the pcmcia modem... it coincides
with the upgrade to potato.....
i rebuild a kernel (2.2.10 with the serial patch preconized by pcmcia package
due to a bug in the kernel code), but nothing helps, i can't get access to the
modem, trying with kermit i get the error Sorry, can't open connection:
/dev/ttyS3 when trying to set the line on it.....
now when booting i see hte messagte 'cannot get serial info: inapropriated
ioctl for device' somewhere near the serial section (i have to read this fast,
since i am for some reason unable to scroll back on the init-console, and due
to the fact that this damn message doesn't appear in dmesg....)
so any clue is welcome....
