    Is there anything special that needs to be done to configure for the
    2.4.18 kernel? I'm using the following commands to configure it and it
    doesn't seem to be doing the trick (though they work under 2.4.17)

    insmod parport
    insmod parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
    modprobe baycom_par mode="picpar" iobase=0x378
    sethdlc -i bcp0 -p mode "picpar" io 0x378
    axparms -setcall bcp0 kf6rfx-1
    ifconfig bcp0 192.168.2.2 up
