[ts-7000] Curiosity with PL2303 and getty.

I was trying to use a USb/serial adapter using the PL2303 chip set.  It didn't 
work using 
the pl2303.o supplied with the TS7250, so I used the one in the pl2303.zip in 
the Files 
section of this group.

That 'sort of' worked, in that I could actually get a login prompt using getty. 
 However, 
once logged in, you don't get line feeds, only carriage returns so you are 
stuck on a single 
line.

I figured this might be something to do with ioctls, so I enabled debugging and 
sure 
enough you get this output from dmesg:

pl2303.c: pl2303_open - submitting read urb
pl2303.c: pl2303_open - submitting interrupt urb
pl2303.c: pl2303_ioctl (0) cmd = 0x5401
pl2303.c: pl2303_ioctl not supported = 0x5401
pl2303.c: pl2303_ioctl (0) cmd = 0x540b
pl2303.c: pl2303_ioctl not supported = 0x540b
pl2303.c: pl2303_ioctl (0) cmd = 0x5402
pl2303.c: pl2303_ioctl not supported = 0x5402
pl2303.c: pl2303_set_termios -  port 0, initialized = 1

Where according to include/asm/ioctls,h, 
0x5401 = TCGETS,
0x5402 = TCSETS,
0x540B = TCFLSH.

Am I on the right track or is this a red herring?

I have no idea about how to add support for these ioctls to the pl2303.c code - 
that's just 
too far away from my comfort level in coding.
