| |
Hi
I've need some additional serial ports on my laptop for some time and have finally found an available PCMCIA serial device.
However it is based on the 16C950 UART and ideally I'd like to use it with 2.2. The UART datasheets claim it is compatible with the 16750 which serial.c(v4.27) claims it supports, and 2.4's serial.c(v5.01) claims support for the 16950.
So am I going to have to use 2.4, ought I use 2.4, on pain of kernel panics, or have I just got myself into a whole load of kernel development?.
