RE: PCMCIA MODEM?

[Chris Hellyar]

There is a good chance it is a supported modem, but Linux will not auto-detect it.   This might help:   Open two shell windows, and in one type "tail -f /var/log/messages"  which will show you the machine system log, and all sorts of useless(ful) information..   In the other, type 'service pcmcia restart' which will unload, and then re-load the pcmcia card services.   In the first window it should show some messages about what it's doing, and the identity of the cards it finds on the pcmcia bus.  (all things being equal...)   Armed with the type of card it is, you can then do a search on Google, or the redhat site itself for the modem type..   Post the chunk out of the log to the list if you don't get anywhere, from the point that it says it's restarting the card services.   Cheers, Chris H. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Devine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 26 July 2002 8:49 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PCMCIA MODEM?
