2008/6/11 Dennis Flynn <dennis_flynn@yahoo.com>: [trim] > I tried installing the update, e.g. "freebsd-update -r 7.0-STABLE fetch", then "freebsd-update -r 7.0-STABLE upgrade". Seemed to work. But I do not seem to have the device driver loaded when I plug in the USB device. I get the folowwing in the messages log: > > Jun 10 16:48:02 wx kernel: ugen0: <Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2> on uhub0 > > But I don't see a device that I think I should see, like /dev/ttyU0.

Shouldn't I see something like 7.0-RELEASE-p1 or 7.0-STABLE? Did I do something wrong in my update to RELEASE? How do I know if I'm running the STABLE kernel with the driver I want? How can I tell if the driver (uslcom) is there and/or loaded? > uslcom(4) appeared somewhere in 7.0-STABLE in GENERIC, and you are running 7.0-RELEASE, that is older. freebsd-update works only with releases (plus sec.patches), and 7.0-STABLE is not a release (obviously because you cannot definitely say to what date it corresponds). So you should update it to STABLE manually or wait until 7.1 is out. wbr, pluknet
