If you want to load the puc(4) driver as a loadable module, you should load the sio(4) or uart(4) driver module as well. But these drivers are included in the GENERIC kernel. So you should to remove sio(4) or uart(4) from the kernel and load it as a loadable module. The other solution is to builtin the puc(4) driver to the kernel. i.e.: sio(4) puc(4) status or uart(4) ---------------------------------------- module module work builtin builtin work builtin module not work <- current choice? module builtin not work ---------------------------------------- (module = loadable module, builtin = kernel builtin) Other modifications will not be needed for PCI multiport cards.
