I'm still not sure why, but my old Oncore-based FreeBSD 5.3 system
doesn't seem to like the Oncore after the upgrade?
Afaik, this system should be all set for
./configure ; make ; make install
but after restarting ntpd the Oncore driver never comes back up?
OK, after a little 'ntpd -d -d' the reason seems obvious:
The patch to allow binary data, needed by the Oncore driver, is still
missing!
The patch should be against ntpd/ntp_refclock.c
What's needed is two extra lines in the setup code, to get from
if (lflags & LDISC_RAW) {
ttyp->c_lflag = 0;
to
if (lflags & LDISC_RAW) {
ttyp->c_iflag = 0;
ttyp->c_lflag = 0;
in two different locations in the source.
(Lines 856 and 918 in the current (rc1) version of the file.)
This has been missing for about a year, and should really be included in
the release code, possibly with some kind of #ifdef FREEBSD #endif
around it.
