Yeah, they seem to be similar, as I've almost got in-kernel driver to work by looking at lspci output and making wild guesses, but then trying to use /dev/ttyMI3 hang my PC. I now compiled the driver provided by moxa and it works, so I now have a code to refer to, and it has special-case for port 3 ;-) Unfortunately their driver only supports kernels up to 2.6.30, so it will take additional efforts to run it on recent. I'm going to try to make in-kernel mxser to work with this board, -- will see how it goes. -- Sergei. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
