Congratulations on the first, and we'll get the second working in a
few minutes.

Thanks, this is perfect for what we need.
First, a question. Are you using the PAO code or what code? The
dumpcis output seems corrupted, and I'd like to know how to blame, me
or someone else. :)

This is the index you have chosen.

This is 'sio0', which probably conflicts with you built-in serial
card. You probably want.

sio2. I suspect idex 0x21 is the one you want even though the output
is corrupted.

and it should work with a kernel modification.

You'll need to add another serial line here, so the pccard driver has
something to use. The first one is for your built-in serial line, and the
second one is for you pccard. Whatever serial line you use make sure
that it's used above in the /etc/pccard.conf config line.

*Ouch* that means it's my problem, unless you've patched it with the
PAO stuff. :(

See above.

Yes, that is correct. It didn't find a 'normal' ethernet device, so
the device driver is available for the PCCARD system to use.

No one has taken the time to make the output look 'pretty'. For now,
ignore it.

Yes, although it doesn't matter which line you use as long as the
built-in hardware doesn't use it. The PCCARD code will correctly
select the necessary parameters.
