Hi hackers, I've found the following message in /usr/src/UPDATING: > 20060428: > The puc(4) driver has been overhauled. The ebus(4) and sbus(4) > attachments have been removed.

Does the puc driver now obsoletes sio as it's going to use uart instead? I've found nothing in the commit message for puc.c 1.47 in the cvs. The GENERIC kernel config still has device sio in it and device puc is still commented out by default. I'm wondering about puc because sio deals badly with higher baud rates (kern/51982) and the UPDATING message and puc might be a solution for that. I'm currently rebuilding world and a sio-free kernel to check that out. Greetings, Volker
