Hi Johan,
Thanks for the link to the list archive. I searched the archive and while I did find a good amount of information regarding Xircom's PCMCIA eth/modem cards, nothing really applied to what I am experiencing. I did get the impression that they were supported and fairly reliable. The fact that when running SuSE v8.0 I never had a problem with this modem supports this.
What is bothersome about the issue is that SuSE v9.1 *does* detect the Xircom PCMCIA card, and recognizes the eth side of the card. It just simply will not recognize the modem.
Well it's all a matter of priorities. The linux world don't posses the same power as some big players to "force" them to make drivers available "ASAP/quickly". So it's all a matter of how old/new/current/widely used your equipment is. SuSE 9.1 (aka 2.6 is still early days). If I where you I'd take my SuSE 9.0 PRO with a very mature kernel and hit the labtop with that instead :-) Johan
Any other thoughts?
Jesse
