I was surprised to find that the ddtool said everything except my modem

Yup

Sounds like the ddtool needs a little more "smarts" to ferret out
conflicting information.

I agree totally. I've got a cheapie dual-port pci serial card which
self-identifies with a pci compatible property of

pci9710,9835.1000.12.1


This is all well + good, except that pci1000,12 is the
LSI53C895A PCI to Ultra2 SCSI Controller ... and by default
that's handled by the symhisl scsi driver.


I had to rem_drv symhisl and then update_drv to add the
pci9710,9835 string to the aliases list for the asy driver.

Until this gets fixed, just remember that you should always
double-check what the DD Tool prints for your system.
