Update... using the findchip utility i found that my controller is a
[root@danube findchip]# ./findchip -v
reg=0x010
Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 3
SIR Base 0x2f8, FIR Base 0x2f8
IRQ = 0, DMA = 3
Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
UART compatible: yes
the IRQ is a little strange, since lspnp says it has
10 PNP0510 Generic IRDA-compatible device
flags: [dynamic]
allocated resources:
dma 3 [8 bit] [count byte] [type A]
io 0x02f8-0x02ff [16-bit decode]
irq 3 [high edge]
possible resources:
dma 3 [8 bit] [count byte] [compat]
[start dep fn]
io 0x03f8-0x03ff [16-bit decode]
irq 4 [high edge]
[start dep fn]
io 0x02f8-0x02ff [16-bit decode]
irq 3 [high edge]
[start dep fn]
io 0x03e8-0x03ef [16-bit decode]
irq 4 [high edge]
[start dep fn]
io 0x02e8-0x02ef [16-bit decode]
irq 3 [high edge]
[end dep fn]
noticing that the 2.2.14 drivers don't have any mention of this chip,
but the 2.2.15pre3 sources do, i'm trying a build of that kernel.
still could use advice about what to do to communicate with the
printer... do i use irattach to /dev/ttyS1, and then use that device
in my printcap? where does irLPT come into it?
