Is there a trick to getting both a modem and ethernet pcmcia cards to work
simultaneously. Also, I am about to embark on triing to get a megahertz
combo card to work. I can the modem to work but not the ethernet.
clues suggestions?

thank you for your time and consideration.

If you have a reasonably current kernel (1.3.73 or later) and
reasonably current PCMCIA drivers, it should just work... with one
shortcoming: for the Megahertz combo cards, you can use both
functions, but you should not try to use them *simultaneously*.  The
interrupt handlers get fouled up if both functions are generating
interrupts at the same time.  I've tried to get some info from
Megahertz about their cards so I can fix this, but no luck.

1. PCMCIA drivers for Megahertz Modems

Hi,
I have a Thinkpad 750Cs running Linux 1.1.49 (i've tried 1.1.52, 55 and 59)
and a Megahertz XJ2144 modem.

I have the PCMCIA modules v2.2.2 and i'm having trouble having the
cardmgr daemon to recognize the modem.  It usually loads up the pcmem
module instead.  If i remove the modem and reinsert, i can get cardmgr
to recognize the modem about 1/3 of the time.  If i try hardwiring the
serial_cs module into the rc.M file, I still have to remove and reinsert
the modem a couple of times before it is recognized... Has anyone had this
problem? is there a new version of the PCMCIA drivers (newer than 2.2.3?)

BTW: When i remove the modem, i have to reinsert it into the other slot. This
way I have better luck with cardmgr recognizing the modem

Thanks in advance...
