Works: Sierra Wireless / AC775 / Loading an external cisfile as a 'quick'

[Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

For reasons unclear to me; the standard sio0 address 0x3f8 gets in the way
even if there is absolutely nothing on that address. It is almost as if
the BIOS wispers it in the ear of the kernel even when disabled. Not sure
where the kernel gets this from.

But in any case; moving it up to the COM3 address solves that issue
completely. With the patch below (and increasing the cp4ticks by at least
a 10 fold) makes the Sierra Wireless 775 AirConnect card work; in EDGE and
in GPRS mode with decent speed (Telfort, the Netherlands)

Thanks for all the help !

Dw.
