If have got an old 486 which is used as a Printerspooler
here. It has now been upgraded to -STABLE and I am
worrying about the lpt configuratione using the
new drivers. I have got 4 lpt ports and currently use:

controller      ppc0    at isa? port 0x3BC conflicts
controller      ppc1    at isa? port 0x378 net irq 7
controller      ppc2    at isa? port 0x278
controller      ppc3    at isa? port 0x268
controller      ppbus0  at ppc0
controller      ppbus1  at ppc1
controller      ppbus2  at ppc2
controller      ppbus3  at ppc3
device          nlpt0   at ppbus0
device          nlpt1   at ppbus1
device          nlpt2   at ppbus2       
device          nlpt3   at ppbus3       


Here are the relevant parts from dmesg:

PC873xx probe at 0x2e got unknown ID 0x0
ppc1: ECP SPP ECP+EPP SPP 
ppc_detect_fifo: PWord not supported
ppc1 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa 
ppc1: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 1
nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port

...

PC873xx probe at 0x378 got unknown ID 0xd8
PC873xx probe at 0x3bc got unknown ID 0xdf
PC873xx probe at 0x278 got unknown ID 0x7f
ppc0: SPP
ppc0 at 0x3bc on isa
ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode
nlpt1: <generic printer> on ppbus 0

PC873xx probe at 0x5 got unknown ID 0x44
PC873xx probe at 0x7 got unknown ID 0xf0
PC873xx probe at 0x5 got unknown ID 0x4d
ppc2: SMC registers CR1=0x9f CR4=0x0 configuration hardwired, supposing ECP+EPP SPP
ppc_detect_fifo: PWord not supported  
ppc2 at 0x278 on isa
ppc2: SMC FDC37C666GT chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
nlpt2: <generic printer> on ppbus 2

ppc3: SPP
ppc3 at 0x268 on isa
ppc3: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode
nlpt3: <generic printer> on ppbus 3


I wonder if all is correct and why lpt0 gets attached to ppc1 and
vice versa...

Thanks for any hint,

	-Andre
