It sees the card, but the information being returned by the card to the cardmgr isn't covered in one of the config files (odd, actually). What does cardinfo say? errr...i don't have a 'cardinfo'. What do you have in /var/lib/pcmcia/stab? Socket 0: empty Socket 1: Anonymous Memory What we need to do if find out what the card is telling cardmgr, and make sure one of the config files in /etc/pcmcia covers that product number. This will match up with a driver and load the serial_cs driver so you can use the card. I'll note that when i tried to load the serial_cs module manually with modprobe serial_cs it locked up the laptop hard. What you're looking for is something like: FUJITSU FC14F MBH10213 this gets a lookup: card Fujitsu FMV-JMD711 version FUJITSU, FC14F , MBH10213 bind serial_cs in the config file. If no entry in /etc/pcmcia/config corresponds, we can put one in then the card will be bound by the serial_cs module (which is what you need). yea, i kinda figured this out, but my problem is that have anything to go on to put for the card and version fields. Is it possible that this card just won't work in a PowerMac? I thought that Macs needed special modems, like the Global Village ones. = Lonni J.

Re: PCMCIA help needed
For the intel PCMCIA at least, you may need to specify which PCMCIA hardware you have. There are a number of chipsets that the PCMCIA system does not automatically identify. I think this is in a readme in the kernel sources, but as I remember, check out /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. One of the items lets you say which type of PCMCIA interface there is. I know nothing about Powerbook hardware, so I can say no more. What gets printed in /var/log/messages when a card is inserted?
