The reason the poster suggested that is because by default setserial
will store and reload serial port configuration information before
PCMCIA card services tries to load a serial port associated with the
modem card you insert. Often what happens is setserial assigns
/dev/ttyS0 - /dev/ttyS3 and irqs 3 and 4. When card services tries
to allocate resources and interrupts to the PCMCIA modem card it can't
find a free IRQ.
I haven't tried this solution yet with 3.1.8, but I'll give it a shot
tomorrow and see if I can get my Xircom modem to work with the latest
PCMCIA.
