just purchased Specialix SX modular high speed serial solution
Specialix has changed their name (bought out by perhaps) to Perle.
The FreeDSD 5.4 hardware compatibility list indicates
"Specialix SI/XIO/SX" multiport serial cards, are supports (si(4) driver)
however a compile of the kernel with "device si" doesn't even
discover the card. The supplied DOS utility to probe the device works
as expected.
Can anyone offer a suggestion.
Is this a PCI card? If so, can you try adding it's device ID to the si(4)
driver? If you aren't sure how to do that, just post the output of pciconf
-lv and include the section of info about your card.
thank you VERY MUCH for the response!
yes it is indeed a PCI card, here is the pciconf -lv output
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:7:0: class=0x078000 card=0x030011cb chip=0x200011cb rev=0x00
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Specialix International Ltd.'
device = 'PCI-9050 Target Interface'
class = simple comms
all I added to the MYKERNEL configuration is:
device si
your help is much appreciated!
Jim
this is my second $1000 purchase for a multi-port serial device to work with
FreeBSD
my first purchase -> RocketPort just plain wouldn't work. The management is
getting frustrated with my purchases based on the Hardware Compatibility List.
