Nope. Checked the BIOS and /proc/interrupts, the module uses IRQ5 and this one is clean. Brian's situation might be different, but I have been using this modem for more than a year now and it used to "just work". I used to run pcmcia-* from potato and simply upgraded pcmcia-cs from 3.0.9 (potato) to 3.1.something (potato) and recompiled the modules with the latest pcmcia-source (3.1.somthing from potato). There were no changes in my setup, none whatsoever. The whole thing doesn't make sense to me. I checked all config files in /etc/pcmcia and /etc/modutils and didn't find anything dubious. I might be overlooking somthing, but I just don't know what to look for. The card is definetly supported and I didn't need to pass any parameters in the past. Also, loading the modules seems to work fine, there are no error msgs. It's just that pppd fails to talk to /dev/ttyS2, but it used to work fine. This is driving me crazy.
