This did nothing. It failed to detect the controler. The shell script MAKEDEV used the syntax "\$first" in several places. The escape character is the problem. I edited the script and removed the \ from 8 locations. That fixed the problem. I have not checked to see if this is a problem elsewhere in the script. >How-To-Repeat: Add RocketPort card Recompile kernel with "rp0" run /dev/MAKEDEV cuaR0 >Fix: diff MAKEDEV MAKEDEV.org 1192c1192 < case "$first" in --- > case "\$first" in 1194c1194 < echo "$first" --- > echo "\$first" 1203c1203 < case "$first" in --- > case "\$first" in 1205c1205 < echo "$ports" --- > echo "\$ports" 1232c1232 < case "$first" in --- > case "\$first" in 1234c1234 < echo "$first" --- > echo "\$first" 1243c1243 < case "$first" in --- > case "\$first" in 1245c1245 < echo "$ports" --- > echo "\$ports" >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
