--- Comment #3 from Ian Lepore <ian@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'll look into this.

I can confirm that a large change in the ftdi driver between 8.2 and 10.x w=
as
that the old code would reset the chip on open(), and now that doesn't happ=
en.=20
The reset was harmful for some embedded uses, such as when the chip is used=
 in
mpsse or bitbang mode.

How is your rs485 transceiver connected to the ftdi?  Is the transmitter
connected to #TXDEN, and if so, are you using the eeprom to reconfigure that
pin from RI to TXDEN?  Is the receive side squelched in hardware (as sugges=
ted
in the ftdi datasheet, or otherwise) when the transmit side is active?
