Very Computer

Hello everyone

Running SuSE 6.1 on a HP Omnibook 4150
I can use the Xircom CEM56 modem/eth10/100 card.
With the initial setup I can load network fine,
but the serial stuff (modem) won't work.
But if I disable the modem part in /etc/pcmcia/config, like this:

card "Xircom CEM56 Ethernet/Modem Card"
  version "Xircom", "*", "CEM56"
#  bind "xirc2ps_cs", "serial_cs"
  bind "serial_cs"

modem works just fine, but ofcourse ethernet doesn't ...

(This used to work in earlier versions of the kernel 2.0.36)

After a bit of investigating I noticed that it's an IRQ problem.
changing the with "setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 0" works....
tested all other  irq's but with no luck :-(

So my question is of course:

Has anyone managed to make this work with the  2.2.X kernel at all?

Any clues?

Thanks in advance

Michael

I had exactly the same problems with this card using it in a Toshiba Tecra
740 CDT. On a Siemens Mobile 800, however, the modem and the network part
of this card worked without any problems!?

(Linux distribution was the german DLD-6.01, kernel 2.2.3)

I have the same card in my DEC HiNote Ultra 2000.  I know that it did
work with Red Hat 5.2, bu I haven't tried to use both the network and
the modem at the same time since upgrading to 6.0.

I'll try it and post my results.
