Wrong, wrong, and more wrong. That is NOT creating a link. It is 
creating a character device file. For serial port receivers, you create 
a sym link to a serial port. The mknod command produces the exact 
character device I use on my system to interface with my PVR-250's 
remote...

Shay already has the right character device, I believe. The problem is 
that wonky things are happening with driver loading...
