Here's a weird and wacky problem:
|
|
|
|
I'm currently out of the country with my trusty Evo N600c laptop. When I
|
|
tried to use the serial port to talk to my mobile phone, Linux behaved
|
|
pretty much as if the port was fried. Bizarre, I thought, because I'd
|
|
used it successfully while in the office. The only difference was that I
|
|
was trying the thing in the hotel. I entertained brief notions of having
|
|
somehow fried the serial drivers, then rebooted the laptop to Windows
|
|
and tried again. Worked perfectly. Back to Linux. Still not talking.
|
|
Considered that it might be flaky power, so I ran the laptop on battery.
|
|
Nope. Tried moving the laptop to a differnet part of the room where
|
|
there might be less bogon flux. Still not working. Eventually I gave up
|
|
and used the IrDA port instead - which is usually the serial connection
|
|
of doom, grief, and teeth-grinding.
|
|
|
|
This morning, in the office, the damn thing is working without a hitch.
|
|
|
|
Anyone like to suggest what mystery technology is in use in the hotel
|
|
that prevents serial ports from working under Linux?
|
|
|
|
Cheers,
|
|
Waider.
