There are PCI cards that puc(4) supports and to which puc(4) sio(4) can attach and that don't report interrupts in a way compatible with COM_MULTIPORT. In those cases puc(4)+sio(4) is broken, but puc(4)+uart(4) works. Really, we should just drop sio(4), focus on a single serial driver that just works and works everywhere. -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt_at_mac.comReceived on Tue Jul 01 2008 - 20:49:34 UTC
