I see what you mean.

voyage-base.etch.tar.gz is just a bootstrapped version of etch, it is
not voyage and is not ready to use.
An experimental kernel with serial_cs module can be found in
http://alpha.voyage.hk/contrib/punkytse/test-kernel/

Can't wait to play around with this fellow a bit.
Does this guy come with a kernel with a serial_cs module already
built in a module? Do you think he will be making it happen with
udev as well?

Subject: Re: [Voyage-linux] pcmcia modem module not in voyage kernel
Hi all,
I also noticed that pcmcia-cs was depreciated before 0.2 is
released. For newer 2.6 kernel, a new pcmcia util is needed. I
think I would need to move to Debian testing (etch) to minimize work
on backporting the packages. This will automatically add udev
support as well.

Part

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.

Subject: [Voyage-linux] pcmcia modem module not in voyage kernel
Recommended voyage to a friend who wants to run his pcmcia modem on
it.
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.
Cheers.
