From: Peter Favrholdt I'm using a 2 port USB RS232 dongle to connect to a serial-IR cradle for a bar code reader). Detecting the baudrate of the serial-IR involves keeping DTR low while changing baudrate. This works using normal 16550A serial ports as well as the FTDI driver version 1.4.0 (Linux 2.6.8) but stopped working with the change to "ensure RTS and DTR are raised when changing baudrate" introduced in version 1.4.1 (Linux 2.6.9). The attached patch fixes this, so RTS and DTR is only raised when changing baudrate iff the previous baudrate was B0.
