After switching to a cable modem several months ago, I just got around to
playing with my serial
ports again. It now seems that my COM1 has been subverted into a COM5, and
COM2/COM3 on my
Dolphin serial port expander don't work at all (the system doesn't even see
them). It appears that all this
trouble was caused by the PCI IRQ steering feature that my 10baseT network card
uses to share IRQ11
with the video adapter. Aside from getting rid of the network card (I love my
cable modem) is there any
way to fix this?
