Date: 02 Jan 1996 22:12:26 +0100 Organization: The Seventh Heaven, Berlin, Germany Lines: 29 Sender: martini@cumulus.sky.bln.sub.org Message-ID: <ufentiuwqs.fsf@cumulus.sky.bln.sub.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: cumulus.sky.bln.sub.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.1 Hi, maybe I'm a bit stupid, but I have yet to figure out how I am supposed to use the 7 serial ports that my 2232 serial multiport card provides. I have configured the device into the kernel; the dmesg lines are msc0 at zbus0 rom 0xe90000 man/pro 514/70 msc0: Board successfully initialized. msc0: Normal version detected (c083:1) Looks good, doesn't it? I have even found (in arch/amiga/amiga/conf.c) that the device major appears to be c/31, and (in arch/amiga/dev/msc.c) the scheme for generating the minor numbers. But the MAKEDEV scripts do not seem to support these devices. Of course I can mknod them myself, but I'd rather not if there is a better documented way of doing it. Or, if I have to do it all by myself, I'd like to know if there is a "standard" or "proposed" way of naming the devices.
