Description Ian Laurie 2007-08-16 01:28:09 UTC
Description of problem:
I have been using an Edgeport USB/Serial adaptor and set RTS using this
code:

    bits = TIOCM_RTS;
    ioctl(GenInfo->fd, TIOCMBIS, &bits);    /* Assert RTS */

This has worked on all FC6 kernels up to and including kernel-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6.
I updated to kernel-2.6.22.1-32.fc6 yesterday and the above code no longer works
with the edgeport device driver.  The function call returns zero, but RTS does
not get asserted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.22.1-32.fc6

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  See code above.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Function returns zero but doesn't do anything.

Expected results:
RTS should be asserted as it was with previous kernels.

This is apparently fixed by git commit bc71e479cdb2caab9b4473f7ad508c3fcb142486.
Will get in kernel as soon as possible but today's build is already running.


Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2007-08-16 17:37:12 UTC
Fix is in 2.6.22.2 already. Try 2.6.22.2-57 from the updates-testing repo, or
wait for the next kernel update.

Comment 3 Ian Laurie 2007-08-24 00:18:26 UTC
The kernel-2.6.22.2-42 update seems to have fixed it.
