Hello All,

I just installed a new Cyclades 8Yo board, version 6.02, into an old
2.2.5 machine.  After rebuilding the kernel with COM_MULTIPORT and cy0
support, the system finds the board, and MAKEDEV created the devices.

I have started getty on the 1st 2 ports to test everything.  It looks
like getty is sending out a login prompt, but all I see garbage, 
similar to what you see when the port speed is set incorrectly.

I did some research and read (somewhere) that the newer Cyclades boards
don't work with the old driver.  I downloaded the 2.2.x driver from
Cyclom's ftp site and rebuilt the kernel.  The new kernel panics on
startup.

So...........  Is there a new driver that works with 2.2.5?  Or perhaps
I should upgrade to 3.0.  Cyclom's ftp site had a 3.0 driver available
for download.  Does that mean the one that ships with the 3.0 CDs 
doesn't work.

Any suggestion, answers, tips, good jokes (bad jokes)?
