Acceleport 920 2r no data flows

I have a Digi Acceleport 920 2r card. I got the latest drivers from digi,
compiled everything, and all seems to compile and install correctly.

I can bring up the digi monitoring utility, and see RTS/CTS/DSR/DCD/DTR
turn on and off as connections are made.

But absolutely no information flows. I’ve tried this with two different
cables, with all sorts of baud rates, etc. and I get absolutely nothing.

I even tried a loopback between the two ports on the card, using a
null-modem cable, no dice.

The card should be OK; it worked fine when it was pulled from the old
machine, so I have no idea why it doesn’t work. Unfortunately the old
machine is gone, so I can’t re-test the card.

I remember on my last go around with digi drivers that they can be
finicky, so I’m looking for advice or suggestions.

Any settings I have to make with ditty? Any tests I can run to see if the
card works?

I’m running FC2 with a vanilla 2.6.10 driver. I even tried the kernel
epca driver; it loads but I don’t have any of the other utilities
(digiDload, etc.) so I can’t test any further.

The only indication that something may be wrong is if I enable interrupts

Hi Yan:

The new 2.6.10 kernel will require a pre-release driver. I have e-mailed you a link to where you can download the pre-release candidate.

Please call Technical Support if you’re having problems getting the driver UserID0 sent you a link to install.

Hello,

I’m trying to use the dgap driver with the same kernel and I’m having the same troubles…
Please, can you send me the link to the pre-release too ?
