cs: unable to map card memory!

[Sam Tygier]

hello

I am having problems with a pcmcia(or possibly cardbus, if there is a difference) modem card. Its a 3Com Megahertz 56K Cellular Modem PC Card with XJACK Connector, Model 3CXM556, FCC Reg 4X2USA-25318-M5-E. I am trying to use it on a Apple G4 Ti Powerbook.

When i insert it, it beeps. cardctl can see it

sam @ titania <http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users>:~$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
 product info: "3Com", "3CXM/3CCM556", "Megahertz 56K Cell/Telephony Modem"
 manfid: 0x0101, 0x0034
 function: 2 (serial)

It was not listed in /etc/pcmcia/config, so i added this

card "Megahertz 56K Cell/Telephony Modem"
 manfid 0x0101, 0x0034
 bind "serial_cs"

but it still does not seem to be assined a device name. wvdial and the gnome network tool can't find it.

I think a clue to the problem is in dmesg, a kernel oops

I think those strings of hex on the first line relate to

sam @ titania <http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users>:~$ cat /etc/pcmcia/config.opts

#snipped comments
include port 0x100-0x4ff
include port 0x1000-0x17ff
include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff

I dont really want to trial and error around with kernel memory addresses, that sounds like an easy way to crash a machine. i have had other pcmcia card work (cisco wireless)

the modem works in another computer, so its not broke

thanks

sam

ps, please reply to email thanks
