Description

I have a serial card that is recognized by FreeBSD, but FreeNAS doesn't recognize it.

The only option on the Serial Port Pulldown on the System/Advanced Tab of the web GUI is 0x2F8, and there isn't a port at that address.

Details of the card in question:

From dmesg

Relax filter of what to count as UART I/O ports.

PCI uses different resource names, so PCI UARTs were not reported here.
Probably the only things we should really filter out here are IRQs.

Could you please attach full `devinfo -u` command output? Most likely it is WebUI bug, not a card detection.

I've found the problem. Next nightly build should fix it. Please try it, if you can, and report whether it works, since we rarely see PCI UARTs.

Thanks for quick response - I will be away and not able to test for about a week.

Sorry for the really noob question:
Is there a way I easily test without damaging my production system?

To be absolutely safe, you can disconnect your disks and install to a new USB flash drive. Afterwards, switch back to your old boot device and reconnect your disks.

Loaded a manual update of V11.1RC1.

The non-existent port no longer appears in the drop down menu, and the correct addresses are automatically populated.

After setting the correct serial parameters and rebooting, and the serial port works perfectly from the time the Grub menu is displayed.

Great work - thanks for your speedy resolution to this issue and your patience with my inexperience.
