I obtained a copy of Kubuntu 7.04-Herd5 Desktop Live-install Disc for i386 from www.linuxcd.org and ran it briefly in Live mode for testing purposes. I returned to KinfoCenter but was again unable to find any entry whatsoever for my PCMCIA controller.
I also tried to set up my modem but /dev/modem was as unsuccessful in finding my PCMCIA modem as the Kubuntu 6.10 test. Note Linspire 5.1.427 and Freespire 1.0.3 has the same difficulty here, while in Linspire 5.0.347 /dev/modem ignores the WinModem without comment and finds the PCMCIA modem when it is installed in my machine. For the record the modem is a Creative Modem Blaster v.92 PCMCIA DI5611 and I understand that it is a hardware modem. Under Linspire 5.0.347 the operating system beeps once when I remove the modem from its slot and beeps twice as I slide it back in. Since I was likewise unable to connect to the internet while running Kubuntu 7.04-Herd5, I did not run the diagnostic tests requested. But having lost Cris Rose' E-mail address, I noticed an opportunity to upload the Linspire Diagnostic Report to the page for this bug at launchpad.net and thus tried to do so, but this file again appears too large for acceptance by the server (14.4 Mb). -- Can't find PCMCIA controller in KinfoCenter https://launchpad.net/bugs/87442 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
