Decision PCCOM Serial Card

Hi, Has anyone got FreeBSD to recognise one of these? I've tried modifying sio.c by adding this at line 598.. { 0x0004, "PCCOM Serial", 0x18 }, But no luck.. Booting -v produces no diagnostics pciconf -l for this card produces -> none0@pci0:11:0:class=0x070002 card=0x

support for SmartArray 5* series in GENERIC?

Hi Is there any specific reason why the 'ciss' driver for the Compaq Smartarray 5* series raid controllers is not in GENERIC (and hence not in the installkernel)? Or is it just an oversight? This is 4.5R btw. Wilko -- | / o / /_ _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte

Looking at the source for efence this happens when mmap fails (in this case with ENOMEM). Looking at the man page the two possibilities are: the system has reached the per-process mmap limit specified in the vm.max_proc_mmap sysctl or insufficient memory was available. *BSD limits the maximum amo

I'm having some intermittant problems on my laptop that I'd like to debug, but as I use X11 most of the time it's difficult to use the kernel debugger when the machine hangs, which is when I'm in X :(. Of course the nicest thing would be to return the screen to text mode automatically when the th

Hi, in netinet/in_proto.c there is struct ipprotosw inetsw[], which contains the entry points for the various Internet protocols. If one wants to add a new protocol he has to add the entry points in that array. Would it be feasible to add a new protocol as a KLD instead? If yes, how? If not, wh
