Hello all
Are you ready to read this very detailed and technical mail :-) ?
0== my laptop, the PCMCIA cards and linux system :
Asus L5800DF Athlon64 socket 754
- modem PCMCIA Platinum Card MC227 v90 of ComOne (should work fine according to tuxmobil.org)
- ethernet card Netgear FA411 (a 16 bits one)
SuSE Linux 9.1 AMD64 with the kernel of the SuSE 9.2 AMD64, a 2.6.8-24-3 (the previous one : a
2.6.5-7-111 one)
NB : the Netgear FA411 card, the Hayes modem card and the ComOne modem card work fine under
WinXP on this Asus L5D laptop. No driver for the ComOne, a small driver for the Hayes card for WinXP
(none for Win95 on a old laptop ...). I don't remember for the FA411.
1== what says linux during boot without PCMCIA card (dmesg) :

--- 1st step : to find the right range for the memory : kernel 2.4.21-243 or kernel 2.6.8-24-3
If I write in the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts this (instead of all the above data for memory) :
# 2 ranges :
include memory 0xf8a00000-0xfa1ff000
include memory 0xfba00000-0xfd1ff000

include memory 0xfba00000-0xfc5ff000
include memory 0xfc600000-0xfd1ff000
No card is recognized. But if I write this :
# 1 ranges :

===> good !!!! But I can't explain such a behaviour. Perharps you know ....
---- 2nd step : to find the right port address : kernel 2.4.21-243 or kernel 2.6.8-24-3
If I write in the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts this (instead of all the above data for port) :

The cards are not available. I tried several address range before b000 : no succes. But, by
adding this :
include port 0xd000-0xffff
===> good !!!! But not completely good ...

5a== case of the Hayes modem card with kernel 2.4.21 :
- cardctl ident :
Socket 0:
product info: "HAYES", "OPT288", "YG01 GO", "V7.171;A"
manfid: 0x010a, 0x0000

- cardctl status :

Socket 1:
no card
- cardcrl config :
Socket 0:
Vcc 5.0V Vpp1 0.0V Vpp2 0.0V
interface type is "memory and I/O"
speaker output is enabled
function 0:
config base 0x0100
option 0x62 status 0x08
io 0xd000-0xd007 [8bit]
Socket 1:
not configured
- to force the loading of the right module, I added in the config file :
# insertion le 04-07-2004
card "Hayes Optima 288"
version "HAYES", "OPT288", "YG01 GO"
manfid 0x010a, 0x0000
bind "serial_cs"
#
- lsmod gives :
serial_cs 6624 0 (unused)
ds 9880 2 [serial_cs]
yenta_socket 15520 2
pcmcia_core 57760 0 [serial_cs ds yenta_socket]
- in /dev/, the symbolic link /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS2 is well created
- with setserial /dev/ttyS2, I get :
/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16450, Port: 0xd000, IRQ: 0
===> the problem seems to be this IRQ equal to 0, and probably the UART
- with a serial.opts file modified such as :
# Serial device configuration
#
# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance".
#
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*)
INFO="Default modem setup"
# Symbolic link to dialout device
LINK="/dev/modem"
# Options for 'setserial'
SERIAL_OPTS="irq 4 autoconfig"
# Should we create an inittab entry for this port?
#INITTAB="/sbin/mgetty"
# Extra stuff to do after setting up the device
start_fn () { return; }
# Extra stuff to do before shutting down the device
stop_fn () { return; }
# Card eject policy options
NO_CHECK=n
NO_FUSER=n
;;
esac
I can fix an IRQ. The value 4 is given bye "man setserial". The UART
is not modified (autoconfig)
- with wvdial :
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.42
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: ATZ
--> Modem not responding.
===> the modem card is not working, even with UART fixed to 16550A
5b== case of the Hayes modem card with kernel 2.6.8 :
- cardctl ident :

- in /dev/, the symbolic link /dev/modem -> /dev/cua5 is created, instead of /dev/ttyS2
- with setserial /dev/cua5, I get :
/dev/cua5: No such device or address
===> why this device ????? I can't get information with "setserial /dev/cua5". When the system is halting
(after init 0), the download process stops a the PCMCIA step
6a== case of the Com One modem card with kernel 2.4.21
- cardctl ident :
Socket 0:

===> but no succes : I can't get the /dev/modem.
- with "setserial /dev/ttyS2" (if ttyS2 is for this card), I get :
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0xd3f8, IRQ: 0
===> IRQ 0 and UART unknown, even if SERIAL_OPTS="irq 4 autoconfig"
6b== case of the Com One modem card with kernel 2.6.8
- cardctl ident :

- in /dev/, the symbolic link /dev/modem -> /dev/cua4
====> why cua4 ???? I can't information with "setserial /dev/cua4". When the system is halting (after init 0), the download process
stops a the PCMCIA step
so, if all these details can help you to find the reason why the modem cards don't work with kernel 2.4.2& or 2.6.8, I would be happy to apply
your recommandations.
Kind regards

function 0:

option 0x62 status 0x08
io 0xd000-0xd007 [8bit]
Socket 1:
not configured
- to force the loading of the right module, I added in the config file :
# insertion le 04-07-2004
card "Hayes Optima 288"
version "HAYES", "OPT288", "YG01 GO"
manfid 0x010a, 0x0000
bind "serial_cs"
#
- lsmod gives :
serial_cs 6624 0 (unused)
ds 9880 2 [serial_cs]
yenta_socket 15520 2
pcmcia_core 57760 0 [serial_cs ds yenta_socket]
- in /dev/, the symbolic link /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS2 is well created
- with setserial /dev/ttyS2, I get :
/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16450, Port: 0xd000, IRQ: 0
===> the problem seems to be this IRQ equal to 0, and probably the UART
- with a serial.opts file modified such as :
# Serial device configuration
#
# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance".
#
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*)
INFO="Default modem setup"
# Symbolic link to dialout device
LINK="/dev/modem"
# Options for 'setserial'
SERIAL_OPTS="irq 4 autoconfig"
# Should we create an inittab entry for this port?
#INITTAB="/sbin/mgetty"
# Extra stuff to do after setting up the device
start_fn () { return; }
# Extra stuff to do before shutting down the device
stop_fn () { return; }
# Card eject policy options
NO_CHECK=n
NO_FUSER=n
;;
esac
I can fix an IRQ. The value 4 is given bye "man setserial". The UART
is not modified (autoconfig)
- with wvdial :
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.42
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: ATZ
--> Modem not responding.
===> the modem card is not working, even with UART fixed to 16550A

- in /dev/, the symbolic link /dev/modem -> /dev/cua5 is created, instead of /dev/ttyS2
- with setserial /dev/cua5, I get :
/dev/cua5: No such device or address
===> why this device ????? I can't get information with "setserial /dev/cua5". When the system is halting
(after init 0), the download process stops a the PCMCIA step

===> but no succes : I can't get the /dev/modem.
- with "setserial /dev/ttyS2" (if ttyS2 is for this card), I get :
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0xd3f8, IRQ: 0

====> why cua4 ???? I can't information with "setserial /dev/cua4". When the system is halting (after init 0), the download process

so, if all these details can help you to find the reason why the modem cards don't work with kernel 2.4.2& or 2.6.8, I would be happy to apply
your recommandations.
Kind regards
