install.txt Driver File Contents (PCI2S1P.ZIP)

This is what you will need to do:

1.  List the resources assigned to the PCI card by typing this command:

	more /proc/pci

The response will be similar to the following
      
			Bus 0, Device 11, function 0:
			Serial controller : Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 01).
			Vendor id=9710, Device id=9835

			Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11
			
			I/O at 0xc000 [0xc001]	serial port 1
			I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401]	serial port 2
			I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801]	printer port
			I/O at 0xd000 [0xd001]	ECP/EPP config registers
			I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401]	not used
			I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801]	not used


2.  If you need to crate additional port devices, you will have to use the mknod command. For example, to create /dev/ttyS1 (COM2), you would use this commands:

	mknod 1 c 4 65 -m660
	chgrp tty 1

Please consult your distribution documentation for the specific use of the mknod and chgrp commands. These commands should work on a Mandrake 7.2.

3.  Using the following command (or similar) to configure the serial ports:

	setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0xc000 uart 16550 irq 11 baud_base 115200
	setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xc400 uart 16550 irq 11 baud_base 115200

4.  Unload the paraport_pc.o module by typing in this command:

			rmmod paraport_pc.o
         
5.  Reload the parport_pc.o module to include the new parallel port. The following example assumes the resources discovered in step 1 and a motherboard parallel with Address 378 and IRQ 7.

			insmod parport_pc.o io=0x378,0xc800 irq=7,11

The first port assigned will be /dev/lp0, the second will be /dev/lp1, etc. In this case, the built in parallel port will be /dev/lp0, and the PCI1PECP will be /dev/lp1.
