The Cyclades multiport cards are based on the
cy
driver instead of the usual
sio
driver used by other multiport
cards. Configuration is a simple matter of:
Add the cy
device to your
kernel configuration (note that your irq and iomem
settings may differ).
device cy0 at isa? irq 10 iomem 0xd4000 iosiz 0x2000
Rebuild and install the new kernel.
Make the device nodes by typing (the following example assumes an 8-port board)[1]:
#
cd /dev
#
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7;do ./MAKEDEV cuac$i ttyc$i;done
If appropriate, add dialup entries to
/etc/ttys
by duplicating serial
device (ttyd
) entries and using
ttyc
in place of
ttyd
. For example:
ttyc0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" unknown on insecure ttyc1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" unknown on insecure ttyc2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" unknown on insecure … ttyc7 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" unknown on insecure
Reboot with the new kernel.
