Yes. I have used it successfully, though not always...
In my case it seems to be a problem with the uart 16550A. It does not switch
to low lattency mode correctly making the tower blind to the RCX. I
circumvented the problem setting the UART type as 16540.
I first tried to do it by changing lnpd code, but it provoked the continuous
collision problem. After a lot of testing, I found that leaving lnpd as is
(initializing the uart as 16550A and setting it to low lattency) and
executing the instruction
# setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16450 low_latency
(running as root)
after lnpd has started, the problem vanished.
Sometimes the collisions appeared after some time of use, but a sequence of
instructions like
# setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A ^low_latency
# setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16450 low_latency
fixed the problem...
I worked all this a couple of months ago and now I have almost no time to
play with it so I don't know if Martin Cornelius (we were in contact to try
to fix this) have been working on it... (Ping!! Martin?? Still Alive? ;-)
Hope it works for you...
