Package: hotplug Version: 0.0.20040329-16 Severity: important
Running a 2.6.10 kernel Debian unstable with hotplug/udev. Since a few days (I do not use it very often) I discovered that my PCMCIA Sony/Ericsson GC85 GPRS/EDGE modem card was not recognized anymore by hotplug. Upon insertion/removal of the card, no activity took place int tail -f /var/log/syslog|messages or in dmesg. To debug I installed the pcmcia-cs package and everything works fine. cardmgr modprobes the serial_cs module and makes udev create the releveant /dev/ttyS2 device and relative symbolic /dev/modem link. The wvdial procedure now works just as always. Uninstalling pcmcia-cs again nothing works. Please note that with the same kernel and environment hotplug must have worked (some weeks ago) since I used this modem from now and then without needing to install the pcmcia-cs package. Thank you for any help and for you work for us Debian lovers :) Bob PS FWIW here is the output of the card working with pcmcia-cs an 19 14:48:48 localhost cardmgr[7100]: socket 1: Serial or Modem Jan 19 14:48:48 localhost cardmgr[7100]: executing: 'modprobe serial_cs' Jan 19 14:48:48 localhost udev[7790]: removing device node '/dev/ttyS2' Jan 19 14:48:48 localhost kernel: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 11) is a 16550A Jan 19 14:48:48 localhost cardmgr[7100]: executing: './serial start ttyS2' Jan 19 14:48:48 localhost udev[7799]: creating device node '/dev/ttyS2' Jan 19 14:50:19 localhost kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California Jan 19 14:50:19 localhost udev[7883]: creating device node '/dev/ppp' Jan 19 14:50:19 localhost kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.2 Jan 19 14:50:19 localhost pppd[7839]: pppd 2.4.2 started by bob, uid 1000 Jan 19 14:50:19 localhost pppd[7839]: Using interface ppp0 Jan 19 14:50:19 localhost pppd[7839]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS2 Jan 19 14:50:24 localhost pppd[7839]: Remote message: PAP access OK Jan 19 14:50:24 localhost pppd[7839]: PAP authentication succeeded Jan 19 14:50:24 localhost kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered Jan 19 14:50:24 localhost kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered Jan 19 14:50:26 localhost pppd[7839]: not replacing default route to eth0 [192.168.174.241] Jan 19 14:50:26 localhost pppd[7839]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP Jan 19 14:50:26 localhost pppd[7839]: local IP address 217.201.7.238 Jan 19 14:50:26 localhost pppd[7839]: remote IP address 217.201.7.0 Jan 19 14:50:26 localhost pppd[7839]: primary DNS address 213.230.130.222 Jan 19 14:50:26 localhost pppd[7839]: secondary DNS address 213.230.155.94 Jan 19 14:50:54 localhost pppd[7839]: Terminating on signal 15.
