Having checked my boot up messages, that's exactly what's happening
with the machine with the PCMCIA cards. Is there a way to configure
the interrupt? Can I do it in the ifconfig section of the rc.config?
Or should I try to configure the comport to IRQ 9?

Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.7

eth0: 3Com 3c575 Boomerang CardBus at 0x100,  00:60:08:b6:f8:f3, IRQ 3

ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 9) is a 16550A
