Have a look at /dev/modem, I had a similar problem where it was a link to /dev/cua0, which was dead long past, I changed it to link to /dev/ttyS0 and it all worked. /etc/pcmcia/serial seems to be where it's set up to use cua and says we need to keep track of them if the device files exist. After rereading that file, I've now removed /dev/cua* and shall see what happens on the next reboot, hopefully I shall see it linked properly. Regards Sid.
After reboot, it /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS0 now.
I would not bet what will happen if you just pull out the card and reinsert it, maybe you would get back /dev/cua0.
Regards Sid.
anyway, the /dev/cua* are only present by accident and by just doing a brave "rm /dev/cua*" you are getting rid of the problem. There is no even a kernel part for the cua devices any longer ;-) Also, the pcmcia/serial script could be patched to no longer watch out for cua*, but since we like to add as little suse-patches as possible, just removing the cua* is the easiest fix. -- Stefan Seyfried
