Is anyone successfully using the HUB6 driver in the 2.2 series kernels?
I'm not having much luck yet.

There is a web page at http://www.bigfoot.com/~ecloud/hub6/ with pictures
of the board and my known info at this point.

I took the guess that the pinout diagram shown on the board is with the
viewer looking at the port from the back of the computer.  I wired up a 
cable based on this assumption and hooked up an old external modem to the
top port, which looks like it should be the last port in the series.  
Kermit says this

[/home/rutledge/] C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS37
/dev/ttyS37 is not a terminal device
Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/ttyS37

and cat says this

[electron:/home/rutledge][9:23:06pm] cat messages.txt > /dev/ttyS37
cat: write error: Input/output error

I used MAKEDEV to create the device nodes.  The kernel does recognize the
board:

<excerpt from dmesg>
Serial driver version 4.27 with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
...

however there is no port shown in /proc/ioports and oops... I just noticed
eth0 is on IRQ 5 which is also what the hub6 is set for; I'll have to put
it on IRQ7, but I doubt that alone is going to fix it... the lack of a 
port allocation makes me suspicious.  Could there be a kernel parameter
required?

Failing actual knowledge of this old beastie on the list do we know who
wrote the driver support for it so I can ask him?
