You sure won't have any compliants from Digi International about removing the epca driver from the kernel tree. That driver is *ancient* and I suspect no one actually uses it. (I am not sure its even useable in the current form in the kernel tree) We (Digi) have a much newer "PCI-only, rewritten for 2.6.x" open source version of the driver called "dgap" that all our customers use now instead.
