BusyBox - Serial Console Disable/Enable

I'm trying to disable the serial console on a wireless accesspoint device, and the kernel is configured to have serial console by default.

just modifying the etc/inittab doesn't work, changing "CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y" to "CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE=n" in the defconfig makes serial console disabled but this time serial port "/dev/ttyS0" doesn't seem to work right.

Any ideas on how i can get rid of the serial console and keep the serial port functioning?

Sorry if I couldn't make the problem clear,

You asked for ideas....
I will only hazard a guess that the state of the serial port has been altered in some way. You may be able to un-alter it with a tool such as stty. Can you post the output of

Code:

stty -a -F /dev/ttyS0

Here is the present output of the same command for a serial port on a desktop PC running a Redhat-ish Linux.

Code:

speed 9600 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;

intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;

lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

Sorry for the late reply,

BusyBox v1.00, doesn't have 'stty' command. I did no changes and somehow ttyS0 is alright now but the wireless driver can't be started now, I guess.
