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. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
