That discrepancy > was not present in 4.2. This is not a discrepancy. NOTES/LINT is not supposed to set values to their defaults. Here's the commit that caused the change between 4.2 and 4.5: ---------------------------- revision 1.929 date: 2001/06/21 19:50:11; author: dd; state: Exp; lines: +3 -2 Don't set CONSPEED to the default and deobfuscate the comment.

The default of 9600 comes from sys/dev/sio/sioreg.h; I think it can later be changed using sysctl, but since CONSPEED is used long before sysctl can be called (e.g., during boot), this is only mildly useful. Perhaps you're confusing CONSPEED with something else? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
