Hello seawolf-list,

I've been installing and configuring RH 7.1 onto a Toshiba Portege
3015CT off and on for the past couple weeks. Today, I decided to
install all of the updates that have come out since 7.1. Now, at the
end of the process, I find that somewhere along the way, I lost the
ability to talk with the combo modem / Ethernet card I was using
(purely for Ethernet, for now). That card is a Xircom CBEM56G-100.

Looking at /var/log/messages, I see that cardmgr is recognizing the
card in socket 0. It executes 'modprobe cb_enabler' and 'modprobe
xircom_cb'. I see a message that says, from /etc/hotplug/net.agent,
'register event not handled'. I see that cardmgr executes 'modprobe
serial_cb'. I see messages:

cardmgr + modprobe: Can't locate module serial_cb
cardmgr: module /lib/modules/2.4.3-12/pcmcia/serial_cb.o not available
[although I find that path, a symlink pointing to another file that
exists]

after several other messages in the log, I see the message:

eth0: Xircom cardbus revision 3 at irq 11

This seems to me to be saying that it's pretty well recognized, but
just a couple lines later, after some IPX Copyright messages and a
NET4 identification, cardmgr says:

don't know how to make device "xircom_cb"
/dev/xircom_cb: No such file or directory

Sure enough, there is no /dev/xircom_cb. I don't know if there used to
be, but there isn't one now.

Among the updates I performed was the new kernel stuff. I did not use
"rpm -i" with any of the kernel modules. I used "rpm -U" with them. I
can only speculate that this may have caused my problem, but I do not
see how.

I have my main machine, kept updated successfully with "up2date",
including the kernel update. So, I have a system from which I might
download stuff from the Internet and transfer over to the Toshiba.

Help??? Thanks!

Ron.
