The only problem with this using an auto-loading serial module. I'd have to, for example, run /bin/setserial everytime before I attempt to make a ppp connection. Very inconvenient. For expeditiousness, I just modified the appropriate files so that my /dev/cua2 defaults to IRQ 5, as per my hardware setting. I think The only problem with this using an auto-loading serial module.

I think there is another way to do it using /etc/conf.modules settings to pass parameters to the module, but I have been too lazy to investigate it fully.
