PCMCIA Modem/Serial Cards and MPC8xx?

Rod,

Thanks for your reply.

Could you please give my a pointer how you did that?
Did you have MPC8xx uarts _and_ a standard 16550 uart _and_ PCMCIA?

Hmm. But even if I define one. The kernel won't find a UART if it's on
PCMCIA since PCMCIA is started much later... ?

Any hints?

Thanks,
