My ADSL connection had a short outage yesterday.  I discovered, to my
  consternation, that my machine's internal modem wasn't being picked up.
  This is a 1999 Dell PIII that refuses to die.  The PCI modem has worked
  in the past under Redhat and Gentoo.  I am aware that I have to allocate
  more than 4 serial ports in make menuconfig.  lspci -v shows...
 
  00:10.0 Serial controller: 3Com Corp, Modem Division 56K FaxModem Model
  5610 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550]) Subsystem: 3Com Corp, Modem Division
  Unknown device baba Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9
  I/O ports at 1430 [size=8]
  Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

   A rather heavy-handed solution was to emerge setserial and execute

 setserial /dev/ttyS4 port 0x1430 irq 9

   This initializes the port, and pppconfig now finds /dev/ttyS4 when
 doing an auto-probe.  And dialup works.  This is nice to know, because
 I'll be moving later this summer, and may be dialup-only for a few weeks
 depending on circumstances.

   I've copied the above setserial command to /etc/conf.d/local.start to
 ensure it's automatically executed at bootup.

I have to run setserial manually to get my IrDA recognised.  Not sure if this 
is a change in later kernels and/or udev.  I would have thought that it would 
be picked up by the kernel/udev without much drama, but it seems that 
setserial is needed hereafter?
