Check /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and see if PCMCIA's trying to take the
mwave's interrrupts.  The mwave seems to want IRQs 3 and 10 by default.

You need to use the DOS utility PS2.EXE to enable the serial port.  After
that, it should work fine.  You can get PS2 from IBM's web site.  You can
also check/set mwave, sound, and IR resources this way.

You will probably have to disable your IR port if you want both the serial
port and mwave to work.
