Linux will be doing RS232/422 by default. If you are doing EIA-485 then
you also need to manage the transmitter and how that is handled is going
to depend upon the cable you have. It may need driver changes, it may
simply need you to manage the carrier assert and sometimes carrier
presence in order to implement the transmitter.

Really you'll need to look at the suppliers data sheets and see.
