Subject: ipcop and serial ports

I don't think I'm doing a good job at describing my serial port problem,
so I'll try a little different tact.
I have a pci high speed port card with 2-serial & 1-parallel ports.
Under the 2.2 kernel, /proc/pci showed an unknown card mfg'd by Timedia
in a particular slot with 3-ports and an irq. Apparently because the
card was unknown, Linux did nothing with the ports and I could assign
the ports using setserial's port option to whatever available /dev/ttySx
were available.
Under the 2.4 kernel, Linux seems to know what the card is. /proc/pci
now shows a multi-port card mfg'd by Timedia (I don't recall the exact
wording, but the card is now known) with 2-serial ports and a parallel
port. Because Linux now knows the card, it is assigning the ports for
me. But I want them assigned elsewhere and Linux won't let me do it has
them already assigned.
Clear as mud now? :-)
