My setup now works with the latest PCMCIA. My serial ports are enabled
in the BIOS, setserial has been purged and I recompiled PCMCIA using
the pcmcia-source package. The kernel detects a serial port as ttyS0,
irq 3, but card services takes over this port somehow when I insert the
modem card. IRQ 3 doesn't show up in /proc/interrupts, which seems
strange, but it works.
Don't know if this helps you or not. I sounds like you may have tried
what I've got already.
