The modem card is being added as sio4 (the 5th port). > > which corresponds to the following in /etc/pccard.conf > # Simple Technologies > card "Simple Technology" "Communicator" > config auto "sio2" 2 > insert echo Simple Communicator inserted > remove echo Simple Communicator removed No it doesn't ;') sio2!=sio4. Anyway, my guess is that there are either only 1 or 2 serial ports onyou machine. I have a Latitude laptop, and it has only _one_ real serial port. I've modified my kernel to remove sio1 thru 3, thus, when I have the modem pc-card installed, it comes up as 'sio1'. > > OK, now that it's in, I try to tip to /dev/cuaa3 well... if memory serves, sio4 would somehow related to /dev/cuaa4. But anyway, what you appear to eventually want to do is have the modem come up as sio2, which would be (I think, not 100% sure) also cuaa2. hth, haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
