I know just enough about serials and ttys to be dangerous. I'll try to tweak the 8250_pci.c code and see if that can work with this driver. I'm currently running a 3.6.11 kernel on this box. I'll work on that version first. Then I should probably update to the latest 3.7 release and port it there. I can only test the card I own: Systembase Co Ltd Device 4d02 If it works with this driver, then I'm happy and I'm all for shooting the sb105x. Heck, I'll pull the trigger myself. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
