My system has over 70 serial cards listed. There is an entire section of the file devoted to serial cards. Search for "# sio #". It should be about 1230 lines into the file. Most serial cards just work. All you need to do is use "pccardc cisdump" to get the id string for the card and add an entry to /etc/pccard.conf (which you may need to create) containing: card "Manuf" "card vers" config auto "sio" ? Where the first set of quotations after "card" should contain the manufacturer's name and the second the card version, both from tuple 4 of the dump. (Do not include the square brackets.) -- R.
