[Testbed-admins] Cyclades Ze and Linux

[John Hickey <jhickey@ISI.EDU>]

Has anyone successfully used a Cyclades Ze card with Linux?  I am trying
to find an OS that is something newer than FreeBSD 4.x to run this card.

I'm trying Ubuntu Server 8.04.3 LTS.  The card appears to probe:

 [   26.206377] cyclades 0000:01:00.0: Cyclades-Ze/PCI #1 found: 64
channels starting from port 0.

and I get 64 ttyC* devices in /dev which according to MAKEDEV are
cyclades ports.  However I am unable to open any of them.  According to
setserial the devices do not exist.

 root@serial:~# setserial -a /dev/ttyC0
 /dev/ttyC0: No such device
 root@serial:~# setserial -a /dev/ttyS0
 /dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
     Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
     closing_wait: 3000
