Hallo 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. Thanks for any help! regards Georg Hellwig ########################################### 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 ! # dmsg Serial driver version 4.27 with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.3 kernel build: 2.2.13 #1 Mon Nov 8 18:28:35 GMT 1999 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pnp] PnP: PNP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00f9510 PnP: PNP BIOS version 1.0, entry at f0000:d19, dseg at 0 Intel PCIC probe: Intel i82365sl B step ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00, 2 sockets host opts [0]: none host opts [1]: none ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,5,9,10,11,12 status change on irq 11 here I can see that there is PCMCIA Card Services in the kernel ! # 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 ! # cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 ttyS 5 cua 7 vcs 10 misc 14 OSS 29 fb 36 netlink 109 lvm 128 ptm 136 pts 162 raw 254 pcmcia # /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by ds 7116 0 i82365 32472 2 pcmcia_core 55176 0 [ds i82365] serial 42932 1 (autoclean) memstat 1604 0 (unused) opl3 13440 0 sb 31844 0 uart401 6968 0 [sb] midi 27772 0 [opl3 sb uart401] soundbase 479456 0 [opl3 sb uart401 midi] sndshield 5016 0 [opl3 sb uart401 midi soundbase] because of the above, I cannot understand why I cannot activate the modem !
