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.
