Still happens on my FreeBSD 4.{6,7} console servers @work, where we use
RocketPorts pretty widely. (We even have some old RP ISA cards floating
around that are still in use)
WARNING: driver rp should register devices with make_dev() (dev_t =
"#rp/0x10014")
I did hear that a new rp driver (nrp?) had been written/committed in -CURRENT
sometime late last year, and apparently made it in 5.0-RELEASE, but hadn't
been back-ported to -STABLE yet (but patches have been floating around in
the archives). I haven't had a chance to test it yet, although one of the
things the new driver apparently fixes is you are now able to use more than
one PCI card in a box. (we have some installs where we need a second PCI
card to drive a third/fourth "pod", where this would be useful)

That's what we do here... (tangled in a web of cat-5 and silver satin cables
at the moment)
