NAME
     uftdi -- USB support for serial devices based on the FTDI chips

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
     kernel configuration file:

	   device uftdi
	   device ucom

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   uftdi_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The uftdi driver provides support for RS-232 (and possibly RS-485) vir-
     tual COM port functionality in various FTDI chips:

	   -   FT8U100AX multi-function hub controller chip
	   -   FT8U232AM USB UART chip
	   -   FT232 series USB UART chips
	   -   FT2232 series dual USB UART/FIFO chips

     The uftdi driver doesn't support any other serial protocol supported by
     these chips.  These protocols might be supported by libftdi userspace
     library.

     The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave
     like a tty(4).
