This is from different kernel, right?

I've built the kernel as modular as possible and added just the necessary
stuff as built-in into the kernel. For now, you would need to unpack the
module from modules-2.6.34-r3-ts72xx.tgz and to autoload it at startup just do
something like this:

$ echo 8250_ts_ser1 > /etc/modutils/8250_ts_ser1
$ update-modules
$ reboot

In the future it should be possible to just:

$ opkg update
$ opkg install kernel-module-8250_ts_ser1

I would add some debugging into the pppd/chat so you can see all the commands
etc. How do you have the modem connected? It's via ts_ser1?

Thanks, that's what I needed. Looks like it works fine :-) If find some spare
time, please can you try to debug the ntpclient issue? If it hangs in the
ntpclient binary I can prepare some verbose version for you.

BTW, is there red led on the ts7400? If so, started blinking after this?

Can you pls also try to flash the UBIFS image and try to boot from it? Thanks.
