>Description:
Update stl(4) and stli(4) drivers to latest 2.0.0 version from Stallion.
As discussed last week on -stable and -bugs, I have built a patch
file (against -Stable) to update the Stallion drivers to the latest
version. This version supports the newer PCI cards as well as newer ISA
cards with a different UART chip. It also adds MAKEDEV support.
This patch has been tested with an EasyIO-PCI card (stl driver) and an
Easyconnect8/64 card (stli driver) with no obvious problems, but not all
corner cases of modem signals etc have been exercised.
Note this is against -Stable and still uses the "old compatibility shims".
Whatever that means!

Patched against: FreeBSD 4-Stable from approx 2001-07-02 07:00 UTC
This patch imports the latest unsupported 2.0.0 version of the
stallion driver from ftp.stallion.com (written by Greg Ungerer
<gerg@stallion.com>). It is based on work done by Jan L. Peterson
<jlp@flipdog.com> in PR kern/22967 to convert this driver to FreeBSD
4. The current version of the driver in the source tree is 1.0.0.
I have also changed the default device names made by MAKEDEV to be
more consistent with the rest of the system:
- stl driver dialin devices are ttyE* as before
- stli driver dialin devices no longer share the ttyE names, but now use
ttyF* names. This allows stl and stli cards to coexist.
- dialout devices are now called cuaE* and cuaF* (cf cue*) in line with the
rest of the system
- Only make device nodes for 8 ports/card by default; this keeps the size
of /dev down.
See the patched MAKEDEV for more details.
A note of the above device changes should probably go into UPDATING
when this is committed to the source tree.
This patch will supercede/close the following PRs:
i386/6368
i386/19890
kern/22967
The following files are basically unchanged between 1.0.0 and 2.0.0
except for whitespace in comments, so are not patched here:

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot FreeBSD on a box with a newer Stallion card (e.g. EasyIO-PCI) and notice
it is not recognised.
>Fix:
There is a 400k patch file available at
http://www.itga.com.au/~gnb/console/stal-jumbo-patch
or a 200k compressed version at
http://www.itga.com.au/~gnb/console/stal-jumbo-patch.gz
I have not attached the path file lest it cause GNATS to choke. I can
append it in a followup if there is a need for the patch to be recorded
in the audit trail.
