Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+Computone Intelliport II/Plus Multiport Serial Driver
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Release Notes For Linux Kernel 2.2 and higher.
+These notes are for the drivers which have already been integrated into the
+kernel and have been tested on Linux kernels 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.
+
+Version: 1.2.14
+Date: 11/01/2001
+Historical Author: Andrew Manison <amanison@america.net>
+Primary Author: Doug McNash
+Support: support@computone.com
+Fixes and Updates: Mike Warfield <mhw@wittsend.com>
+
+This file assumes that you are using the Computone drivers which are
+integrated into the kernel sources.  For updating the drivers or installing
+drivers into kernels which do not already have Computone drivers, please
+refer to the instructions in the README.computone file in the driver patch.
+
+
+1. INTRODUCTION
+
+This driver supports the entire family of Intelliport II/Plus controllers
+with the exception of the MicroChannel controllers.  It does not support
+products previous to the Intelliport II.
+
+This driver was developed on the v2.0.x Linux tree and has been tested up
+to v2.4.14; it will probably not work with earlier v1.X kernels,.
+
+
+2. QUICK INSTALLATION
+
+Hardware - If you have an ISA card, find a free interrupt and io port. 
+		   List those in use with `cat /proc/interrupts` and 
+		   `cat /proc/ioports`.  Set the card dip switches to a free 
+		   address.  You may need to configure your BIOS to reserve an
+		   irq for an ISA card.  PCI and EISA parameters are set
+		   automagically.  Insert card into computer with the power off 
+		   before or after drivers installation.
+
+	Note the hardware address from the Computone ISA cards installed into
+		the system.  These are required for editing ip2.c or editing
+		/etc/modprobe.conf, or for specification on the modprobe
+		command line.
+
+	Note that the /etc/modules.conf should be used for older (pre-2.6)
+		kernels.
+
+Software -
+
+Module installation:
+
+a) Determine free irq/address to use if any (configure BIOS if need be)
+b) Run "make config" or "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"
+   Select (m) module for CONFIG_COMPUTONE under character
+   devices.  CONFIG_PCI and CONFIG_MODULES also may need to be set.
+c) Set address on ISA cards then:
+   edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/ip2.c if needed 
+	or
+   edit /etc/modprobe.conf if needed (module).
+	or both to match this setting.
+d) Run "make modules"
+e) Run "make modules_install"
+f) Run "/sbin/depmod -a"
+g) install driver using `modprobe ip2 <options>` (options listed below)
+h) run ip2mkdev (either the script below or the binary version)
+
+
+Kernel installation:
+
+a) Determine free irq/address to use if any (configure BIOS if need be)
+b) Run "make config" or "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"
+   Select (y) kernel for CONFIG_COMPUTONE under character
+   devices.  CONFIG_PCI may need to be set if you have PCI bus.
+c) Set address on ISA cards then:
+	   edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/ip2.c  
+           (Optional - may be specified on kernel command line now)
+d) Run "make zImage" or whatever target you prefer.
+e) mv /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage to /boot.
+f) Add new config for this kernel into /etc/lilo.conf, run "lilo"
+	or copy to a floppy disk and boot from that floppy disk.
+g) Reboot using this kernel
+h) run ip2mkdev (either the script below or the binary version)
+
+Kernel command line options:
+
+When compiling the driver into the kernel, io and irq may be
+compiled into the driver by editing ip2.c and setting the values for
+io and irq in the appropriate array.  An alternative is to specify
+a command line parameter to the kernel at boot up.
+
+        ip2=io0,irq0,io1,irq1,io2,irq2,io3,irq3
+
+Note that this order is very different from the specifications for the
+modload parameters which have separate IRQ and IO specifiers.
+
+The io port also selects PCI (1) and EISA (2) boards.
+
+        io=0    No board
+        io=1    PCI board
+        io=2    EISA board
+        else    ISA board io address
+
+You only need to specify the boards which are present.
+
+        Examples:
+
+                2 PCI boards:
+
+                        ip2=1,0,1,0
+
+                1 ISA board at 0x310 irq 5:
+
+                        ip2=0x310,5
+
+This can be added to and "append" option in lilo.conf similar to this:
+
+        append="ip2=1,0,1,0"
+
+
+3. INSTALLATION
+
+Previously, the driver sources were packaged with a set of patch files
+to update the character drivers' makefile and configuration file, and other 
+kernel source files. A build script (ip2build) was included which applies 
+the patches if needed, and build any utilities needed.
+What you receive may be a single patch file in conventional kernel
+patch format build script. That form can also be applied by
+running patch -p1 < ThePatchFile.  Otherwise run ip2build.
+ 
+The driver can be installed as a module (recommended) or built into the 
+kernel. This is selected as for other drivers through the `make config`
+command from the root of the Linux source tree. If the driver is built 
+into the kernel you will need to edit the file ip2.c to match the boards 
+you are installing. See that file for instructions. If the driver is 
+installed as a module the configuration can also be specified on the
+modprobe command line as follows:
+
+	modprobe ip2 irq=irq1,irq2,irq3,irq4 io=addr1,addr2,addr3,addr4
+
+where irqnum is one of the valid Intelliport II interrupts (3,4,5,7,10,11,
+12,15) and addr1-4 are the base addresses for up to four controllers. If 
+the irqs are not specified the driver uses the default in ip2.c (which 
+selects polled mode). If no base addresses are specified the defaults in 
+ip2.c are used. If you are autoloading the driver module with kerneld or
+kmod the base addresses and interrupt number must also be set in ip2.c
+and recompile or just insert and options line in /etc/modprobe.conf or both.
+The options line is equivalent to the command line and takes precedence over
+what is in ip2.c. 
+
+/etc/modprobe.conf sample:
+	options ip2 io=1,0x328 irq=1,10
+	alias char-major-71 ip2
+	alias char-major-72 ip2
+	alias char-major-73 ip2
+
+The equivalent in ip2.c:
+
+static int io[IP2_MAX_BOARDS]= { 1, 0x328, 0, 0 };
+static int irq[IP2_MAX_BOARDS] = { 1, 10, -1, -1 }; 
+
+The equivalent for the kernel command line (in lilo.conf):
+
+        append="ip2=1,1,0x328,10"
+
+
+Note:	Both io and irq should be updated to reflect YOUR system.  An "io"
+	address of 1 or 2 indicates a PCI or EISA card in the board table.
+	The PCI or EISA irq will be assigned automatically.
+
+Specifying an invalid or in-use irq will default the driver into
+running in polled mode for that card.  If all irq entries are 0 then
+all cards will operate in polled mode.
+
+If you select the driver as part of the kernel run :
+
+	make zlilo (or whatever you do to create a bootable kernel)
+
+If you selected a module run :
+
+	make modules && make modules_install
+
+The utility ip2mkdev (see 5 and 7 below) creates all the device nodes
+required by the driver.  For a device to be created it must be configured
+in the driver and the board must be installed. Only devices corresponding
+to real IntelliPort II ports are created. With multiple boards and expansion
+boxes this will leave gaps in the sequence of device names. ip2mkdev uses
+Linux tty naming conventions: ttyF0 - ttyF255 for normal devices, and
+cuf0 - cuf255 for callout devices.
+
+If you are using devfs, existing devices are automatically created within
+the devfs name space.  Normal devices will be tts/F0 - tts/F255 and callout
+devices will be cua/F0 - cua/F255.  With devfs installed, ip2mkdev will
+create symbolic links in /dev from the old conventional names to the newer
+devfs names as follows:
+
+	/dev/ip2ipl[n]	-> /dev/ip2/ipl[n]	n = 0 - 3
+	/dev/ip2stat[n]	-> /dev/ip2/stat[n]	n = 0 - 3
+	/dev/ttyF[n]	-> /dev/tts/F[n]	n = 0 - 255
+	/dev/cuf[n]	-> /dev/cua/F[n]	n = 0 - 255
+
+Only devices for existing ports and boards will be created.
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE:  The naming convention used for devfs by this driver
+was changed from 1.2.12 to 1.2.13.  The old naming convention was to
+use ttf/%d for the tty device and cuf/%d for the cua device.  That
+has been changed to conform to an agreed-upon standard of placing
+all the tty devices under tts.  The device names are now tts/F%d for
+the tty device and cua/F%d for the cua devices.  If you were using
+the older devfs names, you must update for the newer convention.
+
+You do not need to run ip2mkdev if you are using devfs and only want to
+use the devfs native device names.
+
+
+4. USING THE DRIVERS
+
+As noted above, the driver implements the ports in accordance with Linux
+conventions, and the devices should be interchangeable with the standard
+serial devices. (This is a key point for problem reporting: please make
+sure that what you are trying do works on the ttySx/cuax ports first; then 
+tell us what went wrong with the ip2 ports!)
+
+Higher speeds can be obtained using the setserial utility which remaps 
+38,400 bps (extb) to 57,600 bps, 115,200 bps, or a custom speed. 
+Intelliport II installations using the PowerPort expansion module can
+use the custom speed setting to select the highest speeds: 153,600 bps,
+230,400 bps, 307,200 bps, 460,800bps and 921,600 bps. The base for
+custom baud rate configuration is fixed at 921,600 for cards/expansion
+modules with ST654's and 115200 for those with Cirrus CD1400's.  This
+corresponds to the maximum bit rates those chips are capable.  
+For example if the baud base is 921600 and the baud divisor is 18 then
+the custom rate is 921600/18 = 51200 bps.  See the setserial man page for
+complete details. Of course if stty accepts the higher rates now you can
+use that as well as the standard ioctls().
+
+
+5. ip2mkdev and assorted utilities...
+
+Several utilities, including the source for a binary ip2mkdev utility are
+available under .../drivers/char/ip2.  These can be build by changing to
+that directory and typing "make" after the kernel has be built.  If you do
+not wish to compile the binary utilities, the shell script below can be
+cut out and run as "ip2mkdev" to create the necessary device files.  To
+use the ip2mkdev script, you must have procfs enabled and the proc file
+system mounted on /proc.
+
+You do not need to run ip2mkdev if you are using devfs and only want to
+use the devfs native device names.
+
+
+6. DEVFS
+
+DEVFS is the DEVice File System available as an add on package for the
+2.2.x kernels and available as a configuration option in 2.3.46 and higher.
+Devfs allows for the automatic creation and management of device names
+under control of the device drivers themselves.  The Devfs namespace is
+hierarchical and reduces the clutter present in the normal flat /dev
+namespace.  Devfs names and conventional device names may be intermixed.
+A userspace daemon, devfsd, exists to allow for automatic creation and
+management of symbolic links from the devfs name space to the conventional
+names.  More details on devfs can be found on the DEVFS home site at
+<http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/> or in the file kernel
+documentation files, .../linux/Documentation/filesystems/devfs/README.
+
+If you are using devfs, existing devices are automatically created within
+the devfs name space.  Normal devices will be tts/F0 - tts/F255 and callout
+devices will be cua/F0 - cua/F255.  With devfs installed, ip2mkdev will
+create symbolic links in /dev from the old conventional names to the newer
+devfs names as follows:
+
+	/dev/ip2ipl[n]	-> /dev/ip2/ipl[n]	n = 0 - 3
+	/dev/ip2stat[n]	-> /dev/ip2/stat[n]	n = 0 - 3
+	/dev/ttyF[n]	-> /dev/tts/F[n]	n = 0 - 255
+	/dev/cuf[n]	-> /dev/cua/F[n]	n = 0 - 255
+
+Only devices for existing ports and boards will be created.
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE:  The naming convention used for devfs by this driver
+was changed from 1.2.12 to 1.2.13.  The old naming convention was to
+use ttf/%d for the tty device and cuf/%d for the cua device.  That
+has been changed to conform to an agreed-upon standard of placing
+all the tty devices under tts.  The device names are now tts/F%d for
+the tty device and cua/F%d for the cua devices.  If you were using
+the older devfs names, you must update for the newer convention.
+
+You do not need to run ip2mkdev if you are using devfs and only want to
+use the devfs native device names.
+ 
+
+7. NOTES
+
+This is a release version of the driver, but it is impossible to test it
+in all configurations of Linux. If there is any anomalous behaviour that 
+does not match the standard serial port's behaviour please let us know.
+
+
+8. ip2mkdev shell script
+
+Previously, this script was simply attached here.  It is now attached as a
+shar archive to make it easier to extract the script from the documentation.
+To create the ip2mkdev shell script change to a convenient directory (/tmp
+works just fine) and run the following command:
+
+	unshar Documentation/computone.txt
+		(This file)
+
+You should now have a file ip2mkdev in your current working directory with
+permissions set to execute.  Running that script with then create the
+necessary devices for the Computone boards, interfaces, and ports which
+are present on you system at the time it is run.
+
+
+#!/bin/sh
