If you install two of these cards, they are both probed/detected at boot, but only rp0 functions. I have elminated cabling problems, term software problems (cu, kermit, minicom tested) and hopefully operator error. Additionally testing with a backported -current driver shows that both cards function (see below). The -stable driver also generates warnings about "old style compatibility shims" and "WARNING: "rp" is usurping "rp"'s cdevsw[]". >How-To-Repeat: Install multiple RocketPort PCI cards. >Fix: I'm not a coder, but I found the following backport of the -current driver: http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/rp.tgz which allows both cards to work. It seems to have it's own problems however, as it produces spurious errors in the data passing through the port; the errors are serious enough to preclude use of this driver. It's also only available as a kld. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
