[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Unable to use "Actiontec 56K Internal PCI Call Waiting modem" with linux
2.4.19-rc2 kernel

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

When I issue the following command to setup my serial port I get the error:

root@delta:~# setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x9000 irq 5
Cannot set serial info: Address already in use

However I think that this error is spurious as I have ensured that the card 
is not sharing an IRQ with any other devices.

Additionally I have built older kernels with the same config file and my
modem works with the 2.4.6 kernel and does not work with the 2.4.7 kernel.

When setserial fails, if I try to use minicom I get no response from the
modem when I type in AT commands. If I use a working kernel the AT commands
act normally.

As a test I copied the following files from the 2.4.6 source tree into my
2.4.19-rc2 tree:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/serial.c
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/serial.h
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/serialP.h

With this "patch" applied I can use my modem with no issues. 


[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
