On the au1x00 the baud_base is 0 by default. In the serial driver there is a division by baud_base, that ends up in a an exception. How could we handle that. For the moment I set it to a default before it is used: if (baud_base == 0L) baud_base = 115200; Which is also a hack. How can we get the correct baud_base for a pcmcia based serial-port. > the addresses of the registers, and if I remember correctly, > additional/different registers.

We should have a resource for the register access and the serial driver should not care about what it is (memory,io,au1x00,multiport,...). It should just use the resource to access the chip. The resource can be a "virtual resource" like the multiport cards that have an index register. The serial port needs a second resource that is the interrupt. Michael
