To get my Xircom ethernet/56K modem cardbus (32 bits as opposed to old pcmcia 16 bits) card working I needed to set some special serial config options in the kernel build so the serial port could share IRQs:
# # Character devices # CONFIG_VT=y CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL=y # CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE is not set CONFIG_SERIAL_EXTENDED=y # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # CONFIG_SERIAL_MANY_PORTS is not set CONFIG_SERIAL_SHARE_IRQ=y # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # CONFIG_SERIAL_DETECT_IRQ is not set # CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTIPORT is not set # CONFIG_HUB6 is not set # CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD is not set CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y CONFIG_UNIX98_PTY_COUNT=256 CONFIG_PRINTER=m CONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK=y CONFIG_MOUSE=y On Sat, Jan 06, 2001 at 10:09:00AM -0500, freaker <<<-------- wrote: > Well, that didn't do it, nothing else is trying to use those ports. > Any other suggestions? > > freaker > > > > > >The linksys card you have is ment to be one of the best pcmcia cards you > >can get (in respect to linux).
