NAME
serial_cs - PCMCIA serial port driver
SYNOPSIS
insmod serial_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]
[do_sound=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 the kernel
log file, 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 or the corresponding /dev/ttyS# device. The
default serial card setup script will link the dialout
device to /dev/modem.
PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n
Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter
is only available if the module is compiled with
debugging enabled. A non-zero value enables debug-
ging.
irq_list=i,j,...
Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allo-
cated by this driver.
do_sound=n
A flag specifying if speaker output should be
enabled. The default is 1 (true). Set to 0 to
disable speaker output.
