Dear Tapan,
Another solution to have your 537 modem board recognize by the 537EP
driver would be to modify those lines in 8250_pci.c source code to add
in your modem board:
static const struct pci_device_id softmodem_blacklist[] = {
{ PCI_VDEVICE(AL, 0x5457), }, /* ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem */
};
As your 537 modem supplier has no ID in
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/pci_ids.h
It would then read:
static const struct pci_device_id softmodem_blacklist[] = {
{ PCI_VDEVICE(AL, 0x5457), }, /* ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem */
#ifdef __i386__
/* Silicon 537 [Winmodem] ( check with /sbin/lspci -nn -Q if values correct) */
{ PCI_DEVICE(0x1543,0x3052),0,0,},
#endif
};
Next you would rebuild your kernel.
Without rebuilding the kernel, I do not know what if you blacklist the
8250_pci driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then reboot. This is a
quick test which ought to worth to give it a try.
Yours sincerely,
