No sorry. I have even tried ttyS0 to ttyS3 with minicom. There is
definitely no ttySx created, and, as far as I can see no trace from
serial_cs at all.

BTW, I have tried another card, a CardBus ethernet one. I get the
following messages, and the card works. So my problem seems to be
specific with PCMCIA serial cards.

I can try any patch you suggest for my problem.

Thank's in advance.
