Hi Bjorn,
If you carefully read the lspci information you just sent me, your 537
board suffers from the exact same odd problem as the two 537 modem
owners (in Ireland and in India). You can read in your data this line:
Kernel driver in use: serial
The "serial" driver is nothing but the 8250_pci.c kernel code, which
conflicted with the 537 driver. This is something I did rule out in my
latest 536EP/537EP code. As of today, this "serial" driver gets
unregistered by the 537 driver.
You do get this above information because your 537 board is a
"Communication controller" and has exactly one or zero memory region and
one I/O region. The 536EP board has exactly one memory region and zero
I/O region, hence the 8250_pci.c code not thinking he has to handle the
board.
The 8250_pci.c kernel code does lack blacklisting many Winmodems boards.
It just blacklists the AC'97 ALI modem which happens to be also handled
by 537 driver.
Yours truly,
