ser2net: Service starts to early during bootup? #18872

Description: I'm using a mips device as a bridge between a serial device and a computer on my network. I've noticed that the ser2net service/program fails to establish the connection to the serial device path when it first boots up (even though the process is running under top).

I've noticed that the ser2net service is set with a START=75 and I assumed that it might be starting to early. Changing it to START=99 or the rc.d symlink to S99ser2net fixed my issue and I can successfully telnet to the device immediately after a cold boot without the need for a service restart.

Is there a specific reason why is it set to 75? Would it be possible to start it up a bit later during init sequence?

Thank you very much!

I don't remember why the value is 75. Since I guess, that no other process on the system itself directly depends on ser2net, I think, this should be no problem. I'll prepare a patch.
