45The list of supported devices is in
46.Pa sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c .
47Support for new cards should be added there.
48.Pp
49If the
50.Dv PUC_FASTINTR
51option is used, the driver will try to use fast interrupts.
52This should lower the interrupt latency and should be used if the

57It cannot be used if the interrupt is shared.

65card info.

67Only serial ports are supported through the
