Hmmmm, mine isn't a cardbus, it's a CEM56. On a console and logged in as root, I stick in the card and it tells me: cardmgr[690]: executing: 'modprobe xirc2ps_cs' cardmgr[690]: executing: 'modprobe serial_cs' cardmgr[690]: executing: './network check eth0' cardmgr[690]: executing: './network check ttyS4' where the serial_cs and check ttyS4 obviously is the modem connection. Shouldn't your card be used in a simular fashion? Good luck, HarM
