RTP autodetects 2 of my three serial ports. Unfortunately my
modem is the 3rd one and I can’t get on Internet without it
I have to kill and restart devc-se8250 with correct options…
My question is what config file shall I change so that
devc-se8250 can start with right options (port/irq).
Looking at older posts, I can see people modify a file in /etc/system
directory to use full tcpip stack. I did a search in there and
find /etc/system/enum/devices/char file where it has a line:
driver(devc-ser8250 $(SER_OPTIONS), “-u$(sernum) $(ioport),$(irq)”)
now where are $(sernum) $(iport) $(irq) defined?
I checked the online documents but couldn’t find any that talks
about /etc/system structure and files.

You can’t really do much at this point to auto-enable serial ports
beyond the two that are automatically detected.
The workaround for now is to slay the serial port driver after bootup, and
run it using arguments for all serial ports.
The autodection stuff has been fixed for the next patch to keep looking
for serial ports beyond two it’s finding now.
