	This sounds like irq 11 is being reserved/used for some other
purpose in the machine (the irqmask reported by the PC card is what
the card can cope with, not necessairly what the system can cope
with). The workaround is to set options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK to
some mask that doesn't have bit 11 set. The default mask is 0xfbff
(all but bit 10, because of the NEC Versa), so you might try 0xf7ff or
0xf3ff, depending on whether you want to leave irq 10 masked out.

	As for the phantom com1, two things come to mind: IR port (my
laptop only has one physical serial port but presents a com interface
to the other one) and the modem card remaining configured after a soft
reset - but it doesn't look like the card is still inserted. 

	What kind of laptop is this, by the way?
