I'm having different troubles with 2 modem cards. Configuration: System brand & model: Toshiba 4010CDT Linux version: 2.2.14 (mandrake 7.0) Pcmcia version: 3.1.9 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1) card: 56000bps UltraSpeed What happens is precisely the same as John Ruttenberg described in message 10. Everything is fine from the logs, but the modem doesn't work. But if I do (assuming that 5 was the irq assigned by pcmcia, but it works with other irqs) setserial /dev/modem irq 0 setserial /dev/modem irq 5 then everything is ok. Tha card can also be swapped. This card used to work perfectly with Suse 5.3 on the same computer. It works perfectly on a Toshiba 4030CDT with redhat 6.1 (kernel 2.2.12, PCMCIA 3.0.14) ----------------------------------------------------------- 2) card: 3COM 3CXM756 Global GSM and Modem PC Card What happens is similar to what described by Jaime V Miro in message 1. The UART detected is wrong, it is 8250 instead of 16550A (for the other card the UART detection is fine) and the modem doesn't work. I have not been able to make it working by changing UART and irq with setserial. Also this card works perfectly on my Toshiba 4030CDT with redhat 6.1 (kernel 2.2.12, PCMCIA 3.0.14) ---------------------------------------------------------- I also have a 3C598D ethernet CARD that works well in both computers and in all slots. Thanks in advance for your attention.
