I have found a serial device driver that seems to work satisfactory, at 
least for our needs.
I've downloaded it from :
http://www.elatec.si/devel.html

But the problems I've stumbled into were network related, for example 
the openbsd_net package contains a file that includes <sys/uio.h>
On my system the file "/usr/include/linux/sys/uio.h" gets included 
instead, AFAIU the openbsd_net package should have a file that matches 
the uio.h file found in the freebsd_net package.
When using the freebsd_net package I run into trouble because I lack an 
ethernet driver. I will look into these problems a bit deeper now I know 
that it hasn't been tested.
