[Xastir] USB to RS-232 issue

[ka7o]

DOH!

found the workaround - the

modprobe -r pl2303
modprobe pl2303

dance does work - so long as you point the NEW serial TNC interface in 
xastir to ttyUSB0 and not ttyS0. ttySO simple doesn't exist, never will 
work no matter what workarounds are attempted.

This workaround was mentioned early in an Ubuntu thread mentioning the 
change in serial API semantics - apparently that really is the root of 
all this.

Thanks Jason!
