Hi, I have a problem configuring my Cyclades Ye card 16 port. I have added a couple of requests to the Usenet group on this but have had no responses as yet. Briefly, I have cruised through the mail list search and looked at numerous articles asking similar questions, have looked at the cyclades.sgml handbook entry, the cy man page but I don't feel confident in what I read. I have installed the Cyclades card, rebuilt the kernel and at boot time the card is "seen" at the appropriate settings etc. This leaves me with the /dev/.MAKEDEV to make the devices. I have noted several incantations on this using a small script (can't remember it at present but I do recall that one version I read about has devices from 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f and the other suggests 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 . I tried the script and it went away and made a huge number of devices for each physical port. I deleted them and tried ./MAKEDEV cuaac0 ttyc0 (not sure if I have remebered the right devices in this mail, but I used the example in the handbook) and it made, once again a large number of devices. I have a feeling that something is wrong here. I also noted a mail message in this list about additional devices created, but did not see the resolution. Can anybody advise me what the correct incantation should be, if I am doing something wrong, or if there is a problem with ./MAKEDEV etc. regards Andrew Hodges Ph +61 8 8941 8050 Fax +61 8 8941 8075 email: ahodges@ozemail.com.au
