Is anyone successfully using the HUB6 driver in the 2.2 series kernels? I'm not having much luck yet. There is a web page at http://www.bigfoot.com/~ecloud/hub6/ with pictures of the board and my known info at this point. I took the guess that the pinout diagram shown on the board is with the viewer looking at the port from the back of the computer. I wired up a cable based on this assumption and hooked up an old external modem to the top port, which looks like it should be the last port in the series. Kermit says this [/home/rutledge/] C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS37 /dev/ttyS37 is not a terminal device Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/ttyS37 and cat says this [electron:/home/rutledge][9:23:06pm] cat messages.txt > /dev/ttyS37 cat: write error: Input/output error I used MAKEDEV to create the device nodes. The kernel does recognize the board: <excerpt from dmesg> Serial driver version 4.27 with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450 ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A ... however there is no port shown in /proc/ioports and oops... I just noticed eth0 is on IRQ 5 which is also what the hub6 is set for; I'll have to put it on IRQ7, but I doubt that alone is going to fix it... the lack of a port allocation makes me suspicious. Could there be a kernel parameter required? Failing actual knowledge of this old beastie on the list do we know who wrote the driver support for it so I can ask him? -- _______ http://www.bigfoot.com/~ecloud (_ | |_) [EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] __) | | \__________________________________________________________________ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
