5.2.5 The isic Driver Configuration Line for FreeBSD 5.x:

Under version 5.x of FreeBSD one has just to specify the driver in the kernel config file:

device isic 1

This adds the isic driver for one isdn card to the kernel. The other parameters such as the interrupt number and the i/o port are now configured at run time into the kernel by using a so called ``hints'' file, which is either compiled statically into the kernel (see the GENERIC kernel config file for an example) or load ed at boot time from the /boot/device.hints file.

An entry in /boot/device.hints for the above mentioned configuration would be

hint.isic.0.at="isa"

hint.isic.0.port="0xd80"

hint.isic.0.maddr="0xd0000"

hint.isic.0.irq="5"

hint.isic.0.flags="2"

for FreeBSD 5.x.
