I have already done similar work on Issue 4:
http://code.google.com/p/qextserialport/issues/detail?id=4
However the issues is closed fora about a halfyear ago my patch have not been 
merged yet. 

IMHO your implementation is much more pretty than mine.

Thanks for your comment. I've developed this patch for a huge personal project 
and I'm using it in a quite stressing way (using USB hubs, for example). As for 
now, I've never had problems.

I think that, if merged in the main project, this patch would lead to a series 
of important improvements, since it is just a starting point.

Thank you for your publishing your patch. Works greate for me, and additionally 
now I know a lot more about the /sys part of the filesystem^^

I've integrated your work, amongst other improvements into my fork at github:

Hi, since there's someone using my patch, here's the updated version for 
qextserialport-1.2rc

The enumerator code is in src/qextserialenumerator_linux.cpp

I've also modified other files in order to have this behaviour: if a serial 
device is disconnected from the computer (for example a USB-Serial converter) 
the port is automatically closed and the signal exceptionHandled() is emitted.

HTH,
Giorgio
