I had trouble at first getting a 3Com 5610 modem to work with Debian Woody, but I was able to solve that for a while. It turns out that the 5610 wants to work on /dev/ttyS4 and Woody does not create this, by default. I read the Serial-HOWTO from TLDP and it told me how to create /dev/ttyS4. This was easy, this was good to learn. Then setserial /dev/ttyS4 identified a UART. And pppconfig autodetected the modem, and I dialed an IP and reached the Internet. Good.
But then I setup a Realtek 8139(A) network adapter. I did not specify parameters to the module and it autoconfigured to irq 5 and ioport 0xb400. Now the modem does not work, Woody autoconfigures /dev/ttyS4 to irq 2 and ioport 0x01a0 but this does not work; setserial /dev/ttyS4 lists UART unknown. Under winME, the modem works on COM5, IRQ 10 and IO B000. I tried to set these parameters with: setserial /dev/ttyS4 port 0x4000 irq 10, and these parameters do get set, but the modem does not work. The Realtek uses irq 5 and ioport 0xb400-b4ff cat /proc/ioports does not list anything at 0xb000. Any suggestions?
