All,

The system is a laptop running redhat 7.2. There is a pcmcia
modem installed. Neither the modem config program or dip can
find the modem.

Does Linux capture the 'real' or allocated pcmcia ports
anywhere?

How is the pcmcia port/irq allocation made? Is it grabbed by
the device? Is it allocated by the system? If so where is
that controled? i.e. BIOS, S/W ???

Is there a way to direct the configuration to a
predetermined configuration?

Thanks,
Dan

I've got the same problem Dan. IBM 560X laptop with Xircom CEM56 PCMCIA
card that can connect to either a network or modem. Card seems to be
installed o.k. as it shows up under Hardware Browser in KDE 2.2, but I
can't do anything with it. There's definitely more configuring that needs
to be done, but I just can't find it, and I've already spent hours on the
MAN's and HOWTO's.

Hope you have better luck. I'll post here if I find anything.
