Package: pcmciautils
Version: 014-3
Severity: normal
Thanks for your time working on pcmciautils. pcmciautils does not assign
a TTY to the Sierra Aircard 850 when inserted. The hardware is a Lenevo
Thinkpad Z61M.
When I insert the AirCard 850 into the PCMCIA slot I get the following in
syslog:
Jun 21 23:37:28 lab001 kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
Jun 21 23:37:28 lab001 kernel: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
i.e. no TTY is assigned to the card
otherwise I think the card is recognized as shown in some debugging info
below

============================================================
Let me know if I'm missing any debugging info that would be helpful. Running
/lib/udev/pcmcia-socket-startup does not help. When I run cardmgr the card
is recognized, and assigned to /dev/ttyS0 and a symlink is created to
/dev/modem. I can not sent AT commands via minicom to the /dev/ttyS0 device
however.
