Hi all! Sorry for the long mail. I put some log to help finding the problem.
I was using my notebook (Toshiba Satellite 2100CDS) at home (via ppp) and at work (via eth0). I have a ethernet pccard and my modem is a Lucent WinModem (which has a driver for Linux -- ltmodm.o). I'm using unstable. All was working well until I upgraded my kernel from 2.2.14 to 2.2.17. I used dselect to do that, maybe something more changed. I upgraded pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules too. The ltmodem.o driver was compiled for 2.2.12, but Lucent only distribute in the binary form, so I can't recompile the module to the kernel version I'm using now. It worked well with 2.2.14. When I use pon (configured with pppconfig) the system calls the ISP and in the authentication phase it hangs up. (see the log). Another problem is this starts to happen with the ide: Jul 9 15:04:11 brain kernel: ide1: unexpected interrupt, status=0x51, count=1 after I use ppp. The ethernet still works before this. If I try to use ppp again, nothing happens (the system doesn't dials again). Some help? I'm sending this to -laptop list because I think the problem is with pcmcia drivers (as suggests the log). This is the output of 'tail -f /var/log/messages' so the 1st 10 lines already was on the log.
