Could it be that the jumper settings on your Baseband adapter don't
match the values given to `devices'? For some reason, the memory address
and interrupt level jumper settings on the adapter as shipped by IBM
don't match the default values used by `devices'. Being a software type,
I changed the `devices' values:
	rsa	from 80000 to 98000
	rea	from 81fff to 99fff
	brsa	from 82000 to 9a000
	brea	from 87fff to 9ffff
	il1	from 9     to 3
Hope this solves your problem.
