I checked these values on a laptop. It's supposed to be a 16550A indeed.

<laptop>
Aug 27 17:15:35 crocus cardmgr[84]: initializing socket 0
Aug 27 17:15:35 crocus cardmgr[84]: socket 0: Serial or Modem

Aug 27 17:15:35 crocus kernel: ttyS01 at port 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a
16550A

crocus:~# setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
<laptop>

What I don't understand is how I still get:

<ipaq>
sh-2.03# bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=0
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=1
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=0
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=0 reset=0
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=0 reset=0
ttyS00 at port 0xf60002e8 (irq = 42) is a 16450
                                          ^^^^^
..when plugging the card in...

...but a setserial seconds after reveals:
sh-2.03# setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xf60002e8, IRQ: 42
                          ^^^^^^

</ipaq>

Still not quite there.

Cheers,
