I've just renamed nlpt to lpt. But I've properly updated lpt.4, I think. You may just add, the minimal configuration and point to the manpage for further details. Something like: >>> Now the lpt driver, previously named nlpt in the ppbus system not to collide with the original isa/lpt.c functions, shall be declared with: controller ppbus0 device lpt0 at ppbus? controller ppc0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 The ppc(4) driver is the ISA parallel port interface driver. The ppbus(4) controller stands for the whole ppbus system code. And finally, you have lpt(4). <<< > >jmb > -- nsouch@teaser.fr / nsouch@freebsd.org FreeBSD - Turning PCs into workstations - http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
