Still no serial speech with 32-bit Wheezy

[acollins at icsmail.net]

Aparently they've changed the serial code for 3.2, as others have said,
there are some work arounds you need to put in place.  Since I've frozen
my kernel at 2.6.31.13, because of the special drivers I need for my pci
serial and paralell cards, I haven't played with the 2.3 series.

On the other hand, if there is a serial module that isn't being loaded
for your 2.3.2 system, then you'll never get access, although I can't
imagine why it wouldn't be automaticly loaded when attempts to access
the serial ports call for the kernel to do so.  It would be interesting
to try a regular communications program on the ports to see if they are
working with regular serial apps.
