SubjectRe: Serial module arguments !?

So if people are using kerneld to load the serial module they have to rerun
setserial every time the module is loaded?

Yes, it does. There is a warning message in the Configuration help file:

[WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using
non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will be
lost when kerneld automatically unloads the driver. This limitation may
be lifted in the future.]

Also I heard a rummer that in the 1.3. kernels that you nolonger
needed to do setserial v_hi. Is this the case ?

Starting in 1.2, if you are using a modern enough libc, _and_ your
application has been recompiled to use 57600 or 115200 bps, this is
already the case.
