Ok. Though I think adding a flag whose name only makes sense for the
mac68k driver would be a bit gross for all the other ports. So
maybe a serial port equivalent of the link[0-2] bits in ifconfig?
Add more than one while I'm at it?
Should they be CFLAGs or LFLAGs? CFLAG makes more sense to me, since they
have a hardware-related meaning, but sys/tty.h implies that the L
(local) flags are the dumping ground for all miscelaneous things.
Thanks!
Take care,
