- Either you can use kconfig, or it's proabably easier to edit the config
- file yourself, it's called /etc/conf/sdevice.d/asy. Here's what mine looks
- like:
-
- asy Y 1 7 1 4 3f8 3ff 0 0
- asy Y 1 7 1 3 2f8 2ff 0 0
- asy Y 1 7 1 5 3e8 3ef 0 0
-
-
- The second column is Y to configure, N to leave out a given line.
- The 6th column is the interrupt, the 7th and 8th the beginning and end of
- the I/O addresses. The asy driver can handle up to 16 terminals; add new
- lines to the file as needed. The driver supports shared interrupts if
- the cards physically do (but most don't.)
-
- After you edit this file, you need to build and install a new kernel in the
- usual way with kconfig.
