a followup to my previous note about troubles getting kernel 2.2.13
and package pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 to talk to my new media net surfer modem
card.
as i mentioned before, under the stock install of 6.1 using
kernel 2.2.12-20, if i remove and re-insert the card, i get the
following dumped to /var/log/messages. and everything works
fine in that scenario. specifically, i can fire up either kermit
or minicom and chat with the modem.
Dec 29 11:59:37 dell kernel: tty01 unloaded
Dec 29 11:59:37 dell cardmgr[366]: shutting down socket 1
Dec 29 11:59:37 dell cardmgr[366]: executing: './serial stop ttyS1'
Dec 29 11:59:37 dell cardmgr[366]: executing: 'rmmod serial_cs'
Dec 29 11:59:46 dell cardmgr[366]: initializing socket 1
Dec 29 11:59:46 dell cardmgr[366]: socket 1: Serial or Modem
Dec 29 11:59:46 dell cardmgr[366]: executing: 'insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/pcmcia/serial_cs.o'
Dec 29 11:59:46 dell kernel: tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 9) is a 16550A
Dec 29 11:59:46 dell cardmgr[366]: executing: './serial start ttyS1'
rebooting to 2.2.13 and using the new pcmcia package, if i
remove and re-insert the card, i get the following logged in
/var/log/messages:
Dec 29 12:05:48 dell kernel: tty01 unloaded
Dec 29 12:05:48 dell cardmgr[347]: shutting down socket 1
Dec 29 12:05:48 dell cardmgr[347]: executing: './serial stop ttyS1'
Dec 29 12:05:48 dell cardmgr[347]: executing: 'rmmod serial_cs'
Dec 29 12:05:53 dell cardmgr[347]: initializing socket 1
Dec 29 12:05:53 dell cardmgr[347]: socket 1: Serial or Modem
Dec 29 12:05:53 dell cardmgr[347]: executing: 'insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.13/pcmcia/serial_cs.o'
Dec 29 12:05:53 dell kernel: tty01 at 0x13f8 (irq = 9) is a 16550A
Dec 29 12:05:53 dell cardmgr[347]: executing: './serial start ttyS1'
note that only difference is the port address of the card: 0x02f8 in
the first case, and 0x13f8 in the second. is this enough to be
the problem?
just for fun, i edited /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and removed the
available range of 0x1000-0x17ff for ports, restarted pcmcia, and
did the removal/insertion again. this time, the card was placed
at 0x02f8, but still nothing from minicom.
rapidly running out of ideas here.
