Hi, I've got a Xircom CBEM56G modem/ethernet card, which used to work fine under 2.2.x kernels and the standard pcmcia-cs package. For other reasons, I've had to upgrade to 2.4 and was trying to get it to work with the pcmcia drivers included in the kernel. In my laptop, the new kernel pcmcia only seems to work with the yenta_socket driver, so I set that in /etc/pcmcia.conf, and I also included an alias linking tulip_cb to xircom_tulip_cb, the name of the driver module for the card in the new kernels. The pcmcia subsystem seems to work fine, it recognizes the card and loads the xircom_tulip_cb module, but it does not seem run the /etc/pcmcia/ config scripts, so the modem (that's the only thing I can test now) does not get bound to the serial port, if I try to use it I'm unable to open the serial device.
I'm using potato plus the 2.4 updates at http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian including the hotplug package, but I don't know if I should do any more configuration, remove pcmcia-cs (I have another card that needs it) or what. I was also trying with kernel 2.4.5, which does not have a separate serial_cb driver. From what I've read in mailing lists, the standard serial modules should handle the pcmcia modem, but I don't know how to do this either. Has anyone managed to get this thing working?
