Sorry, it din't work for me 8''^((( I have purged setserial, reboot the system and
... same error messages. I have not compiled the kernel yet, just trying with the
original potato deb packages for kernel 2.2.17 and pcmcia modules for 2.2.17. Now, it
is trying to use i/o port range 200-2ff instead of 1000-10ff. But module apa1480_cb
keeps considering them already in use ... despite /proc/ioports says they are free
... I am completely desperated. I *have* to make this card work ... and I don't know
what else I can do. Is this a bug? Maybe consult to the developers list? ... Well, I
think I'm gonna send a bug report. Thank you very much for your help. Any idea or
contribution to solve my problem would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
