Hi Alexis,

There is no matching entry for this board in the serial driver's pci_boards
table. The 9521 device code is a new one. The driver is looking for 950A for
16PCI952 UART.

Since you are getting data output, I suspect your card's oscillator does not
match the driver's default. What is the highest supported baud rate that
this card? (the rate you get when UART divisor reg is = 1) Default is 115200
bps. If your card's oscillator rate is not 1.8432 MHz, then the default baud
rate calculation will be wrong.

If you can find out the maximum baud rate, try adjusting the it for the port
with setserial's baud_base parameter. Two common base baud rates for 95X
based cards are 921600 and 3125000.

If you cannot be sure what the card's baud rate clock base is, then
calculate the actual data rate by cat'ing a large file out the port and
timing it. Calculate the bytes per second and multiply by the number of
bit-times for your async config (usually 10, 1 start, 8 data, 1 stop). This
will tell you for sure if the base_baud value needs to be adjusted.

let me know what happens.

Good luck,
Ed Vance

Hello, I hope U can help me...

here is my configuration :

I have a Intel motherboard AL440LX, with a PII 400 + a OX16PCI952.
My system is a RedHat 7.1 seawolf (and I also try on a Mandrake 8.1)
with a kernel 2.4.2-2.
Here are my version of serial's rpm :
statserial-1.1-20
setserial-2.17-2

I also make a : setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0xfc78 irq 10 that returns

/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16950/954, Port: 0xfc78, IRQ: 10
witch seems to be good

but when I connect a modem (UsRobotics 56k FaxModem ext)on the Serial
port and run the commande "wvdialconf",
I can seen the modem light blinking (Rd, Sd) but not detect it
here is the result of the wvdialconf :

ttyS2<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1
ttyS2<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1
ttyS2<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1
ttyS2<*1>: nothing.
