I have a ThinkPad 380/2635 and I'll be damned if I can get the built-in serial port to do anything for me. I'm running FreeBSD-3.3-PAO, and have sio configured like this: device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? disable port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 I've also tried device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq 4 which made no difference to how the port didn't work. dmesg shows: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa sio0: type 16550A I have a Xircom REM56G-100 pcmcia adapter which functions very well as a modem, appearing on sio1. I found a few old messages from someone else complaining that the ThinkPad uart lies dormant until awoken by some nasty proprietary IBM win98 driver, which clearly I'm not running here. I am hoping that this is not the case, and there is some magic I can do to make everything better. I don't suppose anybody else has a ThinkPad 380 working well under FreeBDS 3.3, and can share some tips with me? Also, I was wondering -- does PAO buy me anything on a TP380? Or would regular 3.3 work just fine? PCIC on this machine reports itself as "Cirrus Logic PD6729/6730 PC-Card Controller".
