Description Andreas Thienemann 2005-12-06 23:33:30 UTC

The current RHEL4 kernel doesn't seem to support the Cyclades-Z serial card.
In RHEL3 the cyclades kernel module was available in the unsupported rpm, but
this is not the case anymore with RHEL4.

It would be nice to add this module in a future kernel upgrade as the card is
still in use even though it is a bit older.
But what other way is there getting 64 serial ports with one pci slot?
