Lava Octopus-550 8-port serial card support on i386?

[Nicholas Merrill <lists_(_at_)_mojo_(_dot_)_calyx_(_dot_)_net>]

Hey All

first - Happy new year to all!

now to the point at hand-

I am writing to ask if anyone knows if there is support, or alternately if
any is planned for the 8-port Lava Octopus-550 card?   Or should we just
return the 8 port in favor of several of the supported 'Quattro' cards?

The page at http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html suggests that Lava's other
cards might be supported by the puc device however, the 550 is not
recognized by my kernel, as seen below-

first, here is what my kernel spits out when it finds a single 8-port
PCI Lava card:


vendor "Lava", unknown product 0x180 (class communications, subclass 
serial, rev 0x00) at pci0 dev 6 function 0 not configured
vendor "Lava", unknown product 0x181 (class communications, subclass
serial, rev 0x00) at pci0 dev 6 function 1 not configured


as you can see, the device does not get configured..

in my kernel config, I enabled everything serial-related
including puc*

here is an excerpt from my kernel config (2.8-STABLE)
which shows the relevant portions in regards to serial devices:

Thanks in advance for any advice,
