[OpenWrt-Devel] procd/inittab with a delayed console

[Owen Kirby]

Michel,

Thanks for the suggestion, this particular driver was being loaded from
/etc/modules.d, however even when I moved it into /etc/modules-boot.d it
still doesn't create /dev/ttyGS0 in time for procd to start the console.

I'll try fiddling around with the load order to see if I can get it
working without my changes to procd

Thanks,
Owen
