Hi all,

I am trying to setup my Hayes ACCURA 56k Internal Modem and need to
setup the serial port in linux with a different irq.
To do this I am trying
    setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x3e8 irq 11
however, I get the message
    Cannot set serial info: Operation not permitted.

Does anyone have any idea why setserial fails?

Thanks in advance

Are you trying this as a "normal" user?  setserial needs to run as root
to make any changes.
