Hi all,
I just posted a driver that enables the high speed serial port modes
for the w83627 chip used on many motherboards, such as Tyan S2460.
To use the driver, you also need to use setserial after loading the
driver to enable the high speed mode.
Hopefully somebody someday will combine all the high speed serial
port drivers into some generic high speed serial port driver...
You can also download the driver from:

The someday is actually coming soon.
Russell King is wizarding on unification of the serial drivers for
the 2.5 kernel. IIRC, the approach was to eliminate duplicated code,
rather than eliminate drivers, per se.
