I have a no name dual port serial pc card which seems to be a Sunix CBS2000X
( http://www.sunix.com.tw/en/Promotion-1.php?sid=336# ).
At least it looks very similar and was sold under the part number CBS2000X.
On the mentioned Sunix web page following specification is given:
IC Oxford CF950
Controller 16C950 compatible UART
Bus Interface PCMCIA Type II 32-bit CardBus
No. of Ports 2 ports
FIFO 128 byte hardware FIFO
Baud Rate 75 bps ~ 921.6 Kbps
They even claim driver support for linux 2.4 and above.
BUT, it doesn't work.
If I insert it into the pcmcia slot there are two beeps (high pitch).
I get two lines in syslog:
cardmgr[2021]: socket 0: Serial or Modem
kernel: cs: ttyS17 at I/O 0x108 (irq = 3) is a 16450
TxD, DTR and RTS of both serial ports get powered for about 20 seconds then get off again.

The MANFID 0x0279 by the way seems to be the one of Oxford Semiconductors.
I run a 2.6.5 kernel from a SuSE 9.1 distro.
Does anybody know whether there is a chance to get this card running and what I can do to get
there?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
