Hello!

Is there any way to point devc-ser8250 to an extended PCMCIA serial card ?
I’d like to use current serial driver for new extended PCMCIA serial card!
Thanks.

I’m not sure what you mean by “extended”, but if the card is inserted in
a PCMCIA slot and devp-pccard is running, you can do a ‘pin’ to get
the ioport and irq of the serial card. You can then start
‘devc-ser8250 -u2 0xaaa,bb’ where aaa is the ioport and bb is the irq
obtained from pin. If you have only one serial port on your machine then
use -u2, otherwise the -u option must be one greater than the last serial
port on you machine.

Thanks Hugh for answer to my question.
Since I have 4 serial ports in one PCMCIA card, I said “extended” :slight_smile:
