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. Chris -- Christopher S.
