Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : perle-serial
  Version         : 3.3.0

  Description     : Perle multiport serial device driver

Perl multiport serial device are PCI cards that provides several serial
ports. 
It works like a charm on kernel 2.6.16 and the whole driver is GPL'ed.
It builds fine and won't need much work to get it into debian.

Here is the sources :
http://www.perle.com/downloads/drivers/ultraport/linux/perle-serial-3.3.0-19.tgz

I suggest creating two package:
perle-serial-source -- Perle multiport serial device kernel module 
sources
perle-serial-utils -- Utilities for Perl multiport serial device

I'd be happy to do it by myself, however I don't have enough C knowledge
to maintain a kernel module.

Thanks in advance,

Regards, Adam Cécile.
