How FreeBSD finds your internal serial ports and how it finds the PCMCIA modem/serial ports is only slightly related. It can find one and not the other > I've got PCMCIA modems to work before using the PAO patches, but only > barely. Does anyone have any input or suggestions for my problem? Sure, what is the output of 'pccardc dumpcis'? Does your kernel have multiple serial ports configured you can try out? (sio0/sio1/sio2). Are you sure that the IRQ you are trying to use for the modem isn't in use by the serial port that FreeBSD doesn't like? Did you jump up and down 3 times, spin on your head, and spit north singing 'Mary had a Little Lamb' as defined in the handbook? (Whoops, did I forget to add the last part to the handbook. *grin*) Seriously, even if all of the above work out, Bruce pointed out a big bug in the modem/serial probing code that exists in the PCCARD code that negatively affects certain hardware. It's a fairly 'simple' fix, but requires *LOTS* of changes to the entire system. Rather than attack it, I want to finish up the 'suspend/resume' stuff and then see how things fare. Nate
