I have an 8 Port Arnet Serial card, Linux 1.1.45, setserial 2.10
and it will not configure. In my rc.serial file I do
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua4 port 0x280 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua5 port 0x288 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua6 port 0x290 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua7 port 0x298 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua8 port 0x2a0 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua9 port 0x2a8 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua10 port 0x2b0 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua11 port 0x2b8 irq 5 skip_test autoconfig
When the system boots these ports are not recognized. Why not?
If I go in and patch serial.c I can get the ports to be recognized
with no problem. I would have thought that setserial would do that
for me so I would not have to recompile the kernel. What gives?
