I am trying to use a modem PCMCIA card with a laptop. The card is
registered and configured, but the chosen interrupt (IRQ 3) does
not appear in /proc/interrupts; I think this is the reason why I
cannot access the card. It is impossible to open it either for
reading or for writing. I have checked the permissions on the device
/dev/ttyS1 and checked that its major and minor numbers are correct.
(This card has worked on this laptop in the past, though with a different
kernel version.)
Can anyone suggest what to do to make this work, please?
