Helloo,
I would like to be able to dial out while booted to the
livecd-x86-6.2-pre3 but my pcmcia modem card does not properly detect.
For comparison, in RedHat I get these pcmcia lines.
serial_cs 5776 0 (unused)
Sorry, I missed this. The real problem then is that the serial_cs driver isn't
on the CD. Could you please boot the 6.2-pre3 CD and do the following commands
to compile this missing module, and tell whether they really work?
tar xf /lfs-sources/linux-2.6.12.5.tar.bz2 \
linux-2.6.12.5/drivers/serial/{8250.h,serial_cs.c}
cd linux-2.6.12.5/drivers/serial
echo 'obj-m += serial_cs.o'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.12.5/build SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
insmod ./pcmcia_cs.ko
(of course, I will add the module to the 6.2-pre4 CD, so that the quirk above
becomes unneeded)
Then try dialing out:
vim /etc/ppp/peers/dialup
modprobe ppp_generic
pppd call dialup
ONLY if this doesn't help, I will add pcmciautils to the CD.
