pcmcia wireless modem

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

I have recently removed one of my partitions from my laptop and
installed ubuntu in that space.
the laptop was set up pretty nicely.  And I even got a atheros a/b/g
card setup with wpa_supplicant.  now i have a new challenge.

I have a pcmcia wirelss modem card.  Not sure what protocol it uses,
but it is a Airedge NEC AX510N data communication card.  I have my
windows partition able to connect to the internet using this card.

When I insert the card, i see...

pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
serial_cs: serial8250_register_port() at 0x03f8, irq 3 failed

It fails without creating the necessary ttyS0x needed for making a
dialup connection.

I took the card and inserted into another laptop with ubuntu installed.
I set it up a couple months ago for testing.  This time it goes so far
as to creating a ttyS01.

I can't tell what the differneces beteween the two installations.
Anyone know what i can do to get this card to at least create a ttyS01?

TIA
