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: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:41:17 -0000 Hi, i recently bought two motherboards with Intel AMT support, a remote management tool which among other things implements Serial Over Lan (SOL) -- which seems to be accessible via TCP port 16994 I have enabled the feature in the bios and built a client (amtterm, see http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/amtterm/ ) which does connect to the port, but there is no data. Especially, on the FreeBSD side i see no "uart" device associated with the SOL port, only uart0 which is the physical serial port on board. Any idea on how to make the SOL port visible ? I am using a stock 8.2-beta kernel for amd64, tried to load ipmi but it makes no difference. cheers luigi
