!Which PAO feature do you need?

We have an ActionTec Datalink v.90 PCCARD modem
that has been working well in a Toshiba 220CDS
for almost a year now under 3.x-RELEASE with the PAO3 patches.

Yesterday, I tried to upgrade the notebook to 4.1-RELEASE,
and found the sio(4) driver is broken for this pc-card.
When pccardd detects it, it is reported as a 16450? device
with a "bogus IIR_TXRDY register".
Then, when we try to talk to the card with cu(1),
the system hangs hard, requiring a hard reset to recover.

We've since restored 3.3-RELEASE with the PAO3 patches,
and we can talk with the card again.

We'll probably upgrade the OS on this notebook to 3.5.1-RELEASE
with the appropriate PAO3 patches soon (we want linux_base-6.1),
unless sio(4) is broken there, too.
