hello, i am still trying to get my Xircom CEM-28 pcmica-card modem to work, without success at the moment, and the problem is really strange:
cat /var/run/stab Socket 0: Xircom CEM28 Ethernet/Modem 0 network xirc2ps_cs 0 eth0 0 serial serial_cs 0 ttyS3 4 67 so the pcmcia controller recognized the card and the serial part of it... lsmod gives (taking only pcmcia modules) serial_cs 3836 0 (unused) xirc2ps_cs 11288 1 ds 6144 4 [serial_cs xirc2ps_cs] i82365 22456 2 pcmcia_core 41808 0 [serial_cs xirc2ps_cs ds i82365] what bothers me is the unused flage behind the serial_cs module... nevertheless: setserial /dev/ttyS3 /dev/ttyS3, UART: 16450, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 7 which seems correct, if i take the card out it reverts to setserial /dev/ttyS3 /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 7 now i wanted to get connection to the modem: kermit C-Kermit 7.0.195 Beta.04, 30 Jan 1999, for Linux Copyright (C) 1985, 1999, Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. Default file-transfer mode is AUTOMATIC Type ? or HELP for help. (/etc/pcmcia/) C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS0 (/etc/pcmcia/) C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS1 (/etc/pcmcia/) C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS2 is not a terminal device Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/ttyS2 (/etc/pcmcia/) C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS3 /dev/ttyS3 is not a terminal device Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/ttyS3 that there's nothing behind ttyS2 is normal, but ttyS3 should now work??? how can it come that setserial see's the port but not kermit?? BTW is there a way to tell the pcmcia-card to use a specific ttyS* ? e.g. setting it on ttyS2 instead of ttyS3? but more important, how do i get that f*****g modem to work???? one more precision laptop is running debian-slink kernel 2.2.7 and pcmcia-cs-3.0.8 -- ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://erm6.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing....
