Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-16
Severity: important

Running a 2.6.10 kernel Debian unstable with hotplug/udev.

Since a few days (I do not use it very often) I discovered that my PCMCIA 
Sony/Ericsson GC85 GPRS/EDGE modem card was not recognized anymore by hotplug.

Upon insertion/removal of the card, no activity took place int tail -f 
/var/log/syslog|messages or in dmesg.

To debug I installed the pcmcia-cs package and everything works fine.
cardmgr modprobes the serial_cs module and makes udev create the
releveant /dev/ttyS2 device and relative symbolic /dev/modem link.

The wvdial procedure now works just as always.

Uninstalling pcmcia-cs again nothing works.

Please note that with the same kernel and environment hotplug must have
worked (some weeks ago) since I used this modem from now and then
without needing to install the pcmcia-cs package.

Thank you for any help and for you work for us Debian lovers :)

Bob

PS FWIW here is the output of the card working with pcmcia-cs
