Hi

This driver supports the RocketPort Infinity series of multiport serial cards,
which are 3.3V PCI and PCI-X, PCI-E (RocketPort Express) compatible.

Comtrol already have freebsd driver for those cards with abandoned support, it
is only for freebsd5.x/6.x and old tty layout:

ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/rport_infinity/drivers/freebsd/6.x/rpinfinity_freebsd6_1.01.tar.z

I have changed it for new tty layer and tested with freebsd 8-stable. New
driver is not only simple conversion from native comtrol version, but taking
some functionality from comtrol linux driver, which more mature. Driver looks
stable for me, i`m using it for our console server with several Comtrol
Express cards:

dmesg output:
rpi0: <RocketPort Express 8, Octa, DB, Selectable> mem 
0xfabff000-0xfabfffff,0xfabf8000-0xfabfbfff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2
rpi1: <RocketPort Express 8, Octa, DB, Selectable> mem 
0xfacff000-0xfacfffff,0xfacf8000-0xfacfbfff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci4
rpi2: <RocketPort Express 8, Octa, DB, Selectable> mem 
0xfadff000-0xfadfffff,0xfadf8000-0xfadfbfff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci6


The Rocketport Infinity/Express devices include the ability to
be configured for any of five interface modes:
    - RS232
    - RS422
    - RS485 2 wire (RS485)
    - RS485 4 wire slave (RS486)
    - RS485 4 wire master (RS487)

The default mode is RS232. The exception to this is the SMPTE models,
which are RS422 only. It can be setup via sysctl or loader tunables: 

dev.rpi.<unit>.port.<port number>.mode
or
hw.rpi.<unit>.port.<port number>.mode (loader tunables)

dev.rpi.<unit>.port.<port number>.rts_toggle  - inverting RTS signal. (only 
sysctl)

For callin ports it create /dev/ttyRPIxy, for callout - /dev/cuaRPIxy, where x
is the card unit, y is the port number
