The other poster has suggested removing setserial; is there anything bad that can result from it (i.e. what does setserial do on a laptop)? The reason the poster suggested that is because by default setserial will store and reload serial port configuration information before PCMCIA card

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. FWIW, my setserial is seeing the port ttyS1, even though it is disabled in the bios. /cat/interrupts, OTOH, does not show irq 3, which makes
