I'm having some trouble getting a modem to be recognized. 
I did this awhile ago on a 3.0 system and thought the process was straight
forward, I'm hoping I'm just missing something terribly easy.

I don't see any updated modem information page, if I'm missing it please
just point me to the right page.

I installed 4.0-release and everything but the modem is working

It's an ISA modem, only other isa device is an Intel Pro/10+ which is
working fine. 

Modem is : Creative Modem Blaster V.90 DI5660

pnpinfo shows :

Card assigned CSN #1
Vendor ID DMB2001 (0x0120a211), Serial Number 0xffffffff
PnP Version 1.0, Vendor Version 2
Device Description: Creative Modem Blaster V.90 DI5660

.....IRQ information ....

Successfully got 44 resources, 1 logical fdevs
-- card select # 0x0001

CSN DMB2001 (0x0120a211), Serial Number 0xffffffff

Logical device #0
IO:  0x02e8 0x02e8 0x02e8 0x02e8 0x02e8 0x02e8 0x02e8 0x02e8
IRQ 11 0
DMA 4 4
IO range check 0x00 activate 0x01


In /sys/isa/sio.c I added under the isa_pnp_id

        {0x0120a211, NULL},     /* DMB2001 - Creative Modem Blaster */
just before the line
        {0x7602a904, NULL},     /* AEI0276 - 56K v.90 Fax Modem (LKT) */   


I recompiled the kernel using the following information on the sio ports :
# Serial (COM) ports
device          sio0    at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4
device          sio1    at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3
device          sio2    at isa? disable port IO_COM3 irq 5
device          sio3    at isa? port IO_COM4 irq 11


and now I get the following (using boot -v):

sio4: configured irq 11 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio4: irq maps: 0x41 0x41 0x41 0x41
sio4: probe failed test(s): 0 1 2 4 6 7 9
unknown0: <Creative Modem Blaster V.90 DI5660> at port 0x2e8-0x2ef,0x800-0x807 irq 
11 on isa0

I've noticed that it always tries to use the port 1 larger then those
described in the kernel. By this I mean if I only configure sio0 it will try
to config sio1 just before the unknown. If I configure sio4 it will try to
config sio5 just before the unknown0:


Suggestions?
