The standard answer is Y. People who might say N 15 here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP 16 servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a 17 serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial 18 port for anything. (Note that the Cyclades multi serial port driver 19 does not need this driver built in for it to work.) 20 21 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 22 module will be called 8250. 23 [WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using 24 non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will 25 be lost when the driver is unloaded. This limitation may be lifted 26 in the future.] 27 28 BTW1: If you have a mouseman serial mouse which is not recognized by 29 the X window system, try running gpm first. 30 31 BTW2: If you intend to use a software modem (also called Winmodem) 32 under Linux, forget it. These modems are crippled and require 33 proprietary drivers which are only available under Windows. 34 35 Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice, 36 modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports. 37 38config SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS 39 bool "Support 8250_core.* kernel options (DEPRECATED)" 40 depends on SERIAL_8250 41 default y 42 ---help--- 43 In 3.7 we renamed 8250 to 8250_core by mistake, so now we have to 44 accept kernel parameters in both forms like 8250_core.nr_uarts=4 and 45 8250.nr_uarts=4. We now renamed the module back to 8250, but if 46 anybody noticed in 3.7 and changed their userspace we still have to 47 keep the 8250_core.* options around until they revert the changes 48 they already did. 49 50 If 8250 is built as a module, this adds 8250_core alias instead. 51 52 If you did not notice yet and/or you have userspace from pre-3.7, it 53 is safe (and recommended) to say N here. 54 55config SERIAL_8250_PNP 56 bool "8250/16550 PNP device support" if EXPERT 57 depends on SERIAL_8250 && PNP 58 default y 59 ---help--- 60 This builds standard PNP serial support.

This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected 85 to that serial port. 86 87 Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console 88 (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but 89 you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as 90 "console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of 91 your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options 92 to the kernel at boot time.) 93 94 If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the 95 kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as 96 system console. 97 98 You can set that using a kernel command line option such as 99 "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8" 100 "console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8". 101 and it will switch to normal serial console when the corresponding 102 port is ready. 103 "earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8" 104 "earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8". 105 it will not only setup early console. 106 107 If unsure, say N. 108 109config SERIAL_8250_GSC 110 tristate 111 depends on SERIAL_8250 && GSC 112 default SERIAL_8250 113 114config SERIAL_8250_DMA 115 bool "DMA support for 16550 compatible UART controllers" if EXPERT 116 depends on SERIAL_8250 && DMADEVICES=y 117 default SERIAL_8250 118 help 119 This builds DMA support that can be used with 8250/16650 120 compatible UART controllers that support DMA signaling. 121 122config SERIAL_8250_PCI 123 tristate "8250/16550 PCI device support" 124 depends on SERIAL_8250 && PCI 125 default SERIAL_8250 126 help 127 This builds standard PCI serial support.
