SERIAL_CS(4) SERIAL_CS(4)
NAME
serial_cs - PCMCIA serial port driver
SYNOPSIS
insmod serial_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [irq_list=i,j,...] [do_sound=n]
[buggy_uart=n]
DESCRIPTION
Serial_cs is the Card Services driver for all PCMCIA serial devices,
including modem cards. When serial_cs is bound to a serial or modem
card, it will generally attempt to allocate the first unused serial
device for use by the card. The device chosen will be recorded in(1,8) the
kernel log file(1,n), and will also be reported to cardmgr(8). The major
and minor numbers and device name reported by serial_cs will match the
corresponding "dialout" device (/dev/cua#). The new device can be
accessed using this device file(1,n) or the corresponding /dev/ttyS# device.
The default serial card setup(2,8) script will link(1,2) the dialout device to
/dev/modem.
PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n
Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only
available if(3,n) the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A
non-zero value enables debugging.
irq_list=i,j,...
Specifies the set(7,n,1 builtins) of interrupts that may be allocated by this
driver.
do_sound=n
A flag specifying if(3,n) speaker output should be enabled. The
default is 1 (true). Set to 0 to disable speaker output.
buggy_uart=n If set(7,n,1 builtins), then the kernel serial driver skips certain
sanity checks that seem to fail for a few PCMCIA modems with odd
UART implementations. The default is 0 (false). Set to 1 to
tolerate buggy UART's. This option is only available for rela-
tively new (2.4 or later?) kernels.
