Bug Description

I am running an up-to-date installation of hoary, the modem in question is a
USRobotics XJ1336. It is a hardware modem and I have used it with linux for many
years.

When I insert the modem it is correctly identified and assigned a ttyS device
and an interrupt, but when I attempt to use it (either by configuring the modem
with network-admin or by running minicom) I get a string of kernel errors (see
/var/log/messages listing below).

I don't know if this is a problem in pcmcia_cs or the kernel or something else
entirely.

Does this still happen with Breezy or Dapper?

Sorry, I should have posted back sooner. I got it to work by explicitly excluding every irq except 11 in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts

That's great. However, we'd still like to know if this is fixed in dapper or not.
