hello,
just a basic question about pcmcia...should i get the pcmcia source package and compile them myself or does the pcmcia-modules package basically provide for this? i compiled my kernel with pcmcia support and cardctl seems to recognise my cards (at least the names), a network card is automatically assigned to /dev/eth0 but modem and cd-drive for example are not assigned to /dev/modem and /cdrom respectively...also, when i checked in /var/log/daemon.log i saw that cardmgr gets some modprobe error messages... for a modem to work, do i have to create /dev/modem myself? with mknod? help! well, basically i thought, since i got those error messages in the log file and the cards seem to be found correctly, that there are missing modules or something like that...so that's why i wanted to know if it is generally a good idea to compile the pcmcia sources manually or not (the most important card (network) works, so i am coutious about changing anything really) thanks... -vester
