All you need in your kernel config is 'device puc'. You already appear to have this in your config, as your system detected the adapter. You will have to "sh MAKEDEV cuaa<n>" (where 0 < n < NUM_PORTS) to get the device nodes in your /dev directory. Alternately, since they have sequential minor numbers, you can make them yourself. 'mknod cuaa0 c 28,128 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa1 c 28,129 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa2 c 28,130 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa3 c 28,131 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa4 c 28,131 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa5 c 28,131 root:wheel' You can also do this for the tty<d/ld/id> nodes as well. I prefer making the nodes myself, but the MAKEDEV script will do the same thing. Good luck, Seth Henry >OK, I've spent all night complaining kernels with no luck.
