Soekris second serial port in Debian Linux Wheezy on net6501

I cannot get Linux to recognize the second serial port on the net6501. 
I'm running a Debian Wheezy root filesystem, and tried several kernels 
(including one I built). None of them will register a second serial port 
(presumably would be /dev/ttyS1):

== Linux 3.2.0 (debian wheezy stock) ==

There seems to be some history, but it seems that no resolution was found:

Any help is greatly appreciated. I assume this second uart would be 
handled by the linux serial8250 driver.

Thanks-
