Help - PCMCIA card disables serial port!

[Michael Dickey <mcdickey@yahoo.com>]

Inserting my PCMCIA modem/ethernet card disables my serial port. I am sure
that it is not an irq problem, as they both use different irqs when
functioning

Before pcmcia card:
$ cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
serinfo:1.0 driver:4.27
0: uart:16550A port:3F8 irq:4 baud:9600 tx:0 rx:0
1: uart:16550A port:480 irq:3 tx:0 rx:0 CTS|DSR|CD|RI
2: uart:unknown port:3E8 irq:4
3: uart:unknown port:2E8 irq:3

After inserting card:
$ cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
serinfo:1.0 driver:4.27
0: uart:16550A port:A80 irq:3 baud:9600 tx:0 rx:0 CTS|DSR
1: uart:unknown port:2F8 irq:3
2: uart:unknown port:3E8 irq:4
3: uart:unknown port:2E8 irq:3
4: uart:unknown port:3220 irq:3
5: uart:unknown port:3228 irq:3
6: uart:unknown port:4220 irq:3
7: uart:unknown port:4228 irq:3
8: uart:unknown port:5220 irq:3
9: uart:unknown port:5228 irq:3

Any idea why this is happening? Everything works fine when I boot into
Windows 2000, so it isn't a hardware issue... (Dell Latitude, potato 2.2r2,
XIRCOM RBEM56G-100 ethernet 10/100+Modem 56)
