I don't know of any correct patch, but the problem can be worked around by ignoring the results of tests 5 and 7. >Does anyone know if there is any effort to commit changes to kernel ssources, >to make soi.c understand EVERY comport, or at least make something like >options WEIRDCOMPORT, so I won't have to patch again and again? This is impossible, since manufacturers keep inventing new incompatibilites. The IWill actually seems to have compatible sio ports and an incompatible interrupt controller.
