Sorry to jump into your thread, but I have a related question. I have
just installed potato 2.2.13-based system on an older TP 380XD, and
although I have everything working my Xircom CreditCard modem 56k is a
bit flakey. I have it working now, but for some reason I need to edit
/etc/pcmcia/serial.opts to add "irq 3" in the SERIAL_OPTS line, restart
/etc/init.d/pcmcia and then _reedit_ same file but now I out the "irq 9"
instead, restart the pcmcia services and all is well (because my irq3 is
slow, i.e. there is a conflict someplace). If I just go to "irq 9" it
will _not_ work! My /var/run/stab is always the same, the beeps are
always the same and I am looking for help in how to configure this thing
to work from the getgo on irq 9 (I have no other things on either 3 or 9
per /cat/proc/interrupts, and my modem is taking always port 13f8-13ff
which seems to be available per /cat/proc/ioports). If it helps anyone I
can e-mail my /etc/pcmcia/ and /var/run/stab files. FWIW, my cardbus is
taking irq 15 and network card (when in, but never used) takes irq 10.
I would appreciate any help, as I have read all HOWTOs and whatever I
could dig up on DejaNews to no avail.
TIA,
damir
