I would be very interested to hear on it comes out for your friend. I tried for some time to do a kernel rebuild to get an Aircard 750 PCMCIA modem running, and did not have a great deal of luck (at least not yet). Part of the issue was serial_cs, but there are some other items regarding PCMCIA devices that changed (broke?) around 2.6.13, and remain somewhat problematic, from what I can tell, with certain serial PCMCIA modem cards, since the pcmcia-cs package is depreciated. Mostly they seem to related to the firmware auto-loading toolset changing, from what I could tell. The new stuff is based on PCMCIAutils, and loads firmware w/o pcmcia-cs. Some info on how this change impacts PCMCIA devices such as serial modems can be found at: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html. PCMCIA modems cards based on the USB paradigm seem to work with existing voyage kernel.

It needs the serial_cs module, which didn't seem to be in the voyage kernel. I have made him a kernel package with it in, and waiting to hear back from him that it works. I just thought you might like to know that this option is useful to some people. The kernel config setting is: SERIAL_8250_CS I set it to m for module.
