Ok, now it's geing weird and possibly buggy.  Here is how it works for
me at the moment:

1. boot (loads serial module because of init.d/setserial)
2. insert pcmcia card, two high beeps, looks good
3. try to dial out - no luck, I/O errors.
4. "cardctl eject" (easier on the socket)
5. "rmmod -a; rmmod -a" - gets rid of pcmcia stuff and serial
6. "modprobe serial" - loads serial module a second time
7. "cardctl insert"
8. dialout works

Why do I have to re-insert the serial module?  I ran into this problem
last night after compiling 2.2.15 when pcmcia and apm quit working.

Anybody has an idea?  something wrong with serial module after 2.2.12?
