How do I stop my PCMCIA modem grabbing ttyS0 - my laptop happily sets up ttyS0 as the built-in port then pcmcia allocates this to the modem. I have excluded irq4 & 0x3f8-3ff. I can't see anything in the docs relating to steering the resources away from a named device.
TIA

Not sure, but the following may offer some ideas...: when I either insert a PCMCIA modem or boot up with one in, it correctly allocates it to ttyS1 (as ttyS0 already allocated for the "real" serial port). My config is: serial support built in to kernel, but serial_cs not loaded at boot time (it gets kicked in by pcmcia card insertion). It's the serial_cs module that should see what's already allocated and choose an unallocated ttyS. Not sure exactly where it looks, but I'd guess it'd be something like /proc/tty/driver/serial - cat that and see if your serial port is listed at position 0. If not, then it's your serial port that's not showing itself correctly. If it IS there, then...I'm not sure!! Let's work together on this, as I want to get to grips better with pcmcia myself!
