Yes. Only one driver can claim a physical device (multi-function devices have to be treated a busses with several children). There are a number of drivers in FreeBSD that have overlapping capabilities - in which case the safest approach is to only load the ones you don't want. uart(4) is a more recent serial driver and I believe it will supplant sio(4) in time but I believe there are still some kludges that require sio. I'm glad you resolved your problems. -- Peter Jeremy
