Author: issyl0 Date: Fri Sep 14 21:55:29 2012 New Revision: 39550 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/39550 Log: - Update a section of the serial communications Handbook chapter to refer to uart(4) in FreeBSD 8.X as opposed to the obsolete sio(4). Keep the references to sio(4) but specify that they are for 7.X and older releases. [1] - Fix some capitalisation convention errors also in the Handbook.
