No experience with that card, but I had a similar experience
with another.
I was trying to get a PCMCIA modem to work on my laptop. I was
getting "that message" on boot, and it didn't work. "syslog"
showed the modem (strangely) as /dev/ttyS04, which also didn't
work.
Meanwhile, it worked on Knoppix, Mandrake, and Red Hat as
/dev/ttyS01 .
The problem was a misconfigured setserial. Not knowing any
better, somehow I installed it, with manual configuration. The
problem was solved by changing the configuration to #kernel.
Then I questioned .... why do I need setserial? So ...
"apt-get --purge remove setserial" . Works perfectly now, as
/dev/ttyS01 .
Apparently, setserial is used when you have lots of modems, or a
multi-port card.
I still don't know what it means.
