Hello, I've been playing around devfs on Mandrake 9.0 and yet cannot make it work the expected way. The goal is to get a winmodem recognised as /dev/ttyHSF0. It is an integrated device on a Sony Vaio (connexant chipset). All works well without devFS but i have decided to make it work with it.
The main problem I have is the device not being recognised. I use drivers provided by http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/ . This provides a tar.gz where you just need to install modules by make install. You then run hsfconfig to get the modules compiled on your current kernel. It will then create a devfs config file called /etc/devfs/conf.d/hsf.conf . The script is saying that all worked well : Compilation and installation of HSF modules succeeded. Your HSF modem should now be accessible as /dev/ttySHSF0 Now, the modules are compiled but the device is not. Here's what contains hsf.conf : LOOKUP ^(ttySHSF|modem$) EXECUTE nice /sbin/modprobe hsfserial REGISTER ^ttySHSF0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink $devname modem UNREGISTER ^ttySHSF0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink modem Now, problem is the laptop contains only this : ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A Whereas devfs declares this : /dev/ttyS0 -> tts/0 which is declared right here : [root@localhost root]# cat /etc/modules.devfs |grep tts alias /dev/tts* serial alias /dev/ttyS* /dev/tts alias /dev/cua* /dev/tts So finally here's the 10.000$ question : What device am i supposed to declare to finally get my modem device correctly declared and installed with DevFS. I've spent a couple of hours on the machine and also on the web following most of the newsgroups messages but no luck so far. Thanks for any reply (with a solution ;) Steph -- Mail sent on Mandkrake 9.0 ext3 k2419 AMD 1.4 "Piece by Piece, the penguins are taking my sanity apart ..." http://frlinux.net - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://gentoofr.org - Portail Francais sur Gentoo Linux
