Ah, that changes everything.
The entire reason Germano and I were chasing down this option, was so we could export various "tty" statistic files out to below each respective tty name in /sys/class/tty
If its currently not possible to add more attributes to the simple class, then we are probably going down the wrong avenue here, at least for now.
Greg, I know you are a very busy person... Is making a "tty class" even in the cards for 2.6, or is it scheduled for 2.7+ ?
Germano, I still hate doing it, and I know it is against the "1 value per file in sys" rule, but for now I think exporting the values to the "card" directory with each file containing the value as a list of ports, 1 per line, might be the best option to work with here, at least until the "tty class" gets developed.
