4.5.2. Why is FreeBSD not finding my internal Plug & Play modem?

You will need to add the modem's PnP ID to the PnP ID list in the serial
driver. To enable Plug & Play support, compile a new kernel with controller
pnp0 in the configuration file, then reboot the system. The kernel will
print the PnP IDs of all the devices it finds. Copy the PnP ID from the
modem to the table in /sys/i386/isa/sio.c, at about line 2777. Look for the
string SUP1310 in the structure siopnp_ids[] to find the table. Build the
kernel again, install, reboot, and your modem should be found.

You may have to manually configure the PnP devices using the pnp command in
the boot-time configuration with a command like

pnp 1 0 enable os irq0 3 drq0 0 port0 0x2f8
to make the modem show.


Compiling with the suggested line "controller pnp0" gets:
"obsolete keyword 'controller' found - use 'device'

o.k.

Compiling with "device pnp0" gets:
"Warning: device "pnp" is unknown
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src

Trying the pnp enable line at boot doesn't change a thing


So - is the FAQ entry an error?

I have a pci winmodem (yes I know - plan on using ltmdm) inserted into an
open pci slot.
dmesg shows

pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> on motherboard

Anyone know how I can really get the card recognized and maybe go on to
install and get
working ppp with this modem ?
