Good luck with that. Digi obsoleted ALL their PCI serial cards several
months ago. They would not even respond to requests from me to include
their firmware for their PCI dgap cards into the kernel firmware
package. The card for the dgnc driver is a pci-e card that may still be
supported by them however. Also there does appear to be an already in
kernel driver for these "PCI-e" cards too. It actually works as I
have a
couple of these cards. The module name is "jsm".

Thanks for the heads up Mark. I've totally neglected this driver and
should have caught this earlier. I'm okay with removing it from staging.
We can bring it back if they need it.
It may actually be my fault that Greg-KH added the dgnc driver to
staging. Shortly after Digi stopped supporting their PCI cards, I had
some contact with Greg-KH and sent him all the Digi GPL drivers that I
was using at the time for possible inclusion. Digi was no longer
maintaining them. I did not know at the time about the jsm driver
already being there.
The dgnc driver supports the following PCI cards:
#define PCI_DEVICE_CLASSIC_4_DID 0x0028
#define PCI_DEVICE_CLASSIC_8_DID 0x0029
#define PCI_DEVICE_CLASSIC_4_422_DID 0x00D0
#define PCI_DEVICE_CLASSIC_8_422_DID 0x00D1
The jsm driver supports all of these plus their newer PCI-e cards:
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_CLASSIC_4 0x0028
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_CLASSIC_8 0x0029
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_CLASSIC_4_422 0x00D0
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_CLASSIC_8_422 0x00D1
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NEO_4 0x00B0
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NEO_1_422 0x00CC
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NEO_1_422_485 0x00CD
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NEO_2_422_485 0x00CE
#define PCIE_DEVICE_ID_NEO_8 0x00F0
#define PCIE_DEVICE_ID_NEO_4 0x00F1
#define PCIE_DEVICE_ID_NEO_4RJ45 0x00F2
#define PCIE_DEVICE_ID_NEO_8RJ45 0x00F3
So I think it is safe to remove the dgnc driver from staging. I also
think the PCI-e versions defined above are actually still available from
Digi as current products.

Mark
