I'm running Freebsd 4.6-RELEASE on a Sony vaio PCG-505FX. I placed a line in the pccard.conf file to match the card entry, and assigned a standard sio driver. When I insert the card, I get the card matched message, and the following resource output: sio4 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 9 flags 0x40000 slot 0 on pccard0 sio4: type 8250 sio4: unable to activate interrupt in fast mode - using normal mode which seems to indicate that the hardware is working. The specs from Sierra tell me that the communication settings for the host machine should be 115kbps, 8-bit, no parity and one stop bit. This is where I have trouble understanding what happens. At this stage, I just want to be able to communicate with the modem and issue AT commands to check whether it's working etc.. but I can't get any feedback at all. I've read through the handbook on setting up serial lines/modems but don't fully understand what applies to my situation. My understanding is that the ttyd* device must be enabled to point to the sio interface in order for the system to communicate with the wireless interface. How should I setup the tty interface? I've tried modifying the /etc/ttys line as indicated in the handbook as: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on secure this starts a getty process but doesn't seem to help when I run cu or tip, I get a "Line in use" error command. When I run cu or tip without the getty process active, the application runs but I get no response to my typing. Can someone point me in the right direction on what is supposed to happen, and how the configuration should be done? Any help much appreciated, Thanks, Julian Chesterfield To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
