Hello Ryan,

sorry for being a newbie, but:

how do I check the major number of this driver?
how do I change this number?
where is this number to be found?

Yours

Jay

Jay,

There was a major number change for the MUX driver in the 2.4 kernels.

Check the major number for /dev/ttyB0, and either change it to 11 from
60 or 60 from 11.

Hope that helps!
