Hi: I'm trying to install a MultiTech PCMCIA card modem in my Compaq Presario 1650 notebook. I am running Red Hat Linux version 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36). The card is identified as 'anonymous memory' and the system log shows that various memory ranges have been excluded. According to the PCMCIA-HOWTO, the likely cause of this problem is a memory probe failure. The suggested solution is to change the included memory ranges in the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file. I have tried several different ranges, e.g. 0xd0000-0xdfff, 0xd8000-0xdffff, but to no avail. The card works fine, I have been able to use it under Windows 98 (I also tried to deduce the memory range those drivers use, but that didn't help either).
