That is correct, at least for -current. : Does anyone have : serial ports working (ie. modems or serial cards)? I had this laptop : working with 3.1 and just upgraded it to current and the serial port : stopped working. That is expected. -current doesn't support sio yet. Work is in progress by me to rework the pccard code to clean it up and to make new style drivers work with it. Until that work is done, you are likely SOL when it comes to using new drivers. This means that sio, ata and fdc won't work. : So to me this looks like work to be done, ie. convert the pccard stuff to : call new-bus drivers or some capatibility layer needs to be done or I'm : smoking dope. Work needs to be done. That doesn't necessarily mean you aren't smoking dope, btw :-) If you are interested in helping out on the pccard rewrite, drop me a line in private mail. The latest snapshot can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/~imp/pccard.patch.990605.gz but it hasn't been well tested and likely is non-functional for a significant number of systems. If you have a ISA based system, then the chances of it working are high. However, I've not done the SIO conversion yet, so that would be your first step...
