Could you check your hardware setting (BIOS Setup) whether COM2 is disabled? If COM2 is enabled and uses IRQ 3, allocating IRQ 3 for your modem card may cause such a problem. My suggestions: - To disable COM2 by BIOS Setup menu to avoid IRQ 3 conflict. - To make other free IRQ and allocate it for your modem card. something like: To disable Parallel port port by BIOS Setup menu and disable ppc0 related device entry in your kernel config file if you do need to use it. Then allocate IRQ 7 for your modem. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
