Tim would know better there since he removed it, but iirc it had something to do with the BARs used, hmm your card has the same PCI id and is serial neutered to an extent, what happens if you treat it as if it really does have both serial ports there? Does it still work without causing other problems so you can safely ignore it? FYI, Interrupt driven works great for me. > The parport_serial / serial link order issue is quite old - is > everyone using modular kernels (not affected by it) these days? > Perhaps all of parport_serial should still be CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL ;) link order shouldn't affect the decision seeing as it affects all parport_serial anyway. You might have to wait it out and see what Tim/Ed have to say but i do have patches for both lying about.
