Subject: Generic 2-port PCI Express Serial Card - how to get recognized? X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 04:05:22 -0000 Hi folks; I have a "generic" PCI Express "dumb" (16550 allegedly) serial card that goes in a PCI Express slot. FreeBSD doesn't see it, which I assume has to do with the card's "vendor ID" not being in the table that FreeBSD reocognizes. How do I get the ID from the probe (and/or probe the bus when the machine is running?) - I assume I could add the vendor ID to the sio_pci.c module and it MIGHT work, yes? It doesn't have a specific brand and documentation is basically "zilch"; I figured it might work right out of the box, but so far, no joy.
