Hello!
I have got
puc0@pci0:0:10:0: class=0x078000 card=0x00121000 chip=0x98359710 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'MosChip Semiconductors (Was: Netmos Technology)'
device = 'Nm9835 Parallel/Serial Port Adapter'
class = simple comms
In a nutshell I have the following proposals to review:
- I have spent few hours figuring out why serial interfaces
covered by puc(4) do not come up at boot time. The issue was I tried
to use kernel module instead of compiling puc(4) into the kernel.
Will it be good to have explicit note about it in the man page?
- First time when I rebuilt the kernel I only added
options COM_MULTIPORT, which is used inside sio(4). The puc(4) also states
the serial ports are managed by sio(4). However it seems that serial
ports are actually handled by uart(4). Is COM_MULTIPORT kernel option
obsolete?
- The puc(4) man page states parallel ports are not supported yet.
It seems thay did now.
More info about the system:

I have roughly tested the functionality of this parallel port throug
the ppi interface. It seems to work.
Attached is a draft of a patch to share/man/man4/puc.4 but maybe more
work is required (regarding COM_MULTIPORT and sio(4) man page...).
Alexey.
