I have the same problem whenever I try to compile the most recent PCMCIA
sources. Right now I'm running from pcmcia-cs.3.1.3 because all the
newer once cause the problems mentioned by the first poster (everything
seems OK but pppd can't get the modem).

What did you change the irq to, and how? I tried to do this by excluding
IRQ's in the PCMCIA config.opts file but each time it still failed, until
finally there were no IRQ's left and the serial module wouldn't load.
I hope this goes away in 2.4 when PCMCIA is part of the kernel. . .
