Try changing all the flags above to 0x401.
The '4'(or '5' in your existing config) is the number of the
'master' port  on the card  (ie. it should refer to sio4).
Also (I may be wrong here), I have a funny feeling that the 'vector siointr'
should ONLY appear on the master (sio4) line, and not on sio[567].

man sio for exact descriptions.
