I've got problems which I cannot solve with the internal information. I installed SuSe6.3 on a Toshiba Satellite 420. Since I have no e-mail and internet acces at home I bought a pcmcia card from 3com 65K Modem 3056. It seem that this is regognized and according to some hardware lists it should be supported - what bothers me is that during boot up it tells me "cardmgr[110]: unsupported card in socket 0" which might be the empty slot because according to the product info the card is regonized correctly.
anyway I cannot activate the modem which seems to be either busy or not there ! So what could be wrong ? Below are some listings from my xterm which tells me that the pcmcia service works.
...
During bootup the following message occurs and 3Com", "U.S. Robotics 3056 is indeed the card I have installed ------------------------------------- cardmgr[110]: watching 2 sockets cardmgr[110]: initializing socket 0 cardmgr[110]: unsupported card in socket 0 cardmgr[110]: product info: "3Com", "U.S. Robotics 3056", "Global 56done Card"
-------------------------------------
# cardctl status Socket 0: 5V 16-bit PC Card function 0: [ready], [wp]
here as well it seem that the pcmcia card is recognized !
You are missing an entry in /etc/pcmcia/config. Have a look at this file an read -> "man pcmcia" and -> "/usr/doc/packages/pcmcia/PCMCIA-HOWTO: 6. Dealing with unsupported cards"
... here I can see that there is PCMCIA Card Services in the kernel !
all right here
# ls -l /dev/modem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 3 19:34 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS1
link is set to /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS1 !
you can remove this link if you don't use a modem via the serial line. The proper link will be set up by /etc/pcmcia/serial when you insert the card and removed again when you eject it. ciao, christian
