Hi JDS,

I was the one who started the thread, I haven't been able to get it to
work yet.
Hoping you might be able to help out. I did what Mark had said and added
the modules alias to the /etc/modules.conf file. But, what I get when I
modprobe ledxmit_serial is: (sorry for the long paste in, but i figured
you needed to see the whole thing.)

Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

Thanks,
Pete
