Hi,

    I'm running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. At the bottom of
my kernel config,
I have:

device    rp



    In my dmesg, I see:

...
rp0: <rp> port 0xb000-0xb0ff mem
0xde000000-0xde000fff,0xde800000-0xde800fff irq 12 at

    I find it interesting that it thinks the
Rocketport has 32 ports, as
it's only a 16 port (I guess the PCI card could
control up to 32, I
don't know) serial card. I recently added the second
card, and ran
MAKEDEV cuaR0  and it made files for 64 ports, 32 on
each card.
    The first card, rp0, works fine (and it worked
fine before I added
the second PCI card, too). I'm using it to tip to the
serial ports on
network devices. However, though I can tip to the
ports on the second
card, I'm not able to actually connect to anything on
the card.
    I saw a very similar post at:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=635489+0+archive/2000/freeb
sd-questions/20001231.freebsd-questions
    If I've left out any crucial details, please let
me know.

Thanks,

Nicholas
