There's no reason to port a driver; we already have one. The first step here is to figure out whether we're even trying to attach. Do you see the device in the output of prtconf -D? Is pmcs associated with it? If the answer to both is yes, you will need to figure out why pmcs is not attaching; check log messages and consider standard driver-attach debugging methods such as DTrace. If the answer is no, then you will need to use update_drv(1M) to add an appropriate alias; the alias should be "pmcs" and the identity should match the PCI vendor and device ID associated with your card. Because I do not have one in hand, I do not know what these are. If you get all the way into attach and it seems like the device is simply doing something we don't expect (i.e., that it's a qualitatively different device than the one our driver expects due to different firmware, configuration, etc.) then it will be time to start looking at other OS's drivers for this card and/or engaging with PMC Engineering to figure out what the device is doing and why. All of this is fairly standard in debugging "device not seen" type issues, so you should have success getting additional tips by searching the archives; of course, the details end up being device-dependent. Good luck! _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
