Before anyone groans "another one?", I searched the archives for getting a PnP ISA modem working on 4.0, tried everything I found, and it still doesn't work. I have the pnpinfo output on a floppy with me, but the PC here at work won't read the floppy (damnable Compaq!). I have tried putting the card's ID into the modem id array in sio.c (and yes, I did take care to use the logical ID rather than the serial number), but that didn't work. I also tried enabling all four sio devices in my configuration file and rebuilding the kernel, but that didn't work, either. Finally, I did a boot -v to see what was going on during the ISA probe. My sound card was detected and reported its resource data (it's CSN 1), and then I got the message "PnP device failed to report resource data", which I presume to be a failure when my modem was probed. FYI, the modem is a Zoom Telephonics V.90 ISA Faxmodem, and it reports the symbolic name ZTIa001. If I could have loaded the pnpinfo, dmesg, and kernel config from the floppy that I brought to work with me, I'd've done so, but Compaq floppy drives are too damned snooty to read floppies written on another vendor's drive. So it looks like I'll have to go through the painful experience of rebuilding my Win2K partition after all, so that I can connect to the internet and give more detailed information. (I was hoping, instead, to d/l the vmware package and load Win2K under *that*, so that my wife can use her preferred email package and I can stop booting back and forth between Windows and FreeBSD.) What I'm hoping for by sending this message is for someone to tell me how to do the 4.0 equivalent of "pnp 2 0 enable os irq0 7 port0 0x3e8", even if it means hardcoding the information somewhere and rebuilding the kernel, just as a workaround for now. That command string allowed my modem to work under 3.4 as recently as last week. Weird question: if pnpinfo can successfully extract information from the card, why does the boot-time probe fail to do so?
