seting up pcmcia gprs cart (yentasocket, 2.6.14-5)

[Krzysztof Drewicz]

Hello there,
've got silly problem with new tools, i need to setup basic gprs/gsm 
module that comes as a GSM<>CompactFlash<>PCMCIA<>PCI :-D
It works as a /dev/ttyS? (and accepts AT* so it's perfect for small cost 
effective embended solutions if anyone asks).
What's the way to 'bound'  any  "Subdevice 0 (function 0)" to any given 
driver (here "serial_cs")

i use:
modprobe pcmcia yenta_socket serial_cs
and have in dmesg:
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 169
Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:0a.0 [0000:0000]
Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0000, PCI irq 169
Socket status: 30000810

now:
[root at asia] ./pccardctl info
PRODID_1="" PRODID_2=""  PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,0000 
FUNCID=255
[root at asia] ./pccardctl status
Socket 0:
  3.3V 16-bit PC Card

So i issue a '/etc/rc.d/init.d/hotplug start'
and after:
[root at asia] ./pcmcia_socket.rc start
cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af: excluding 0x290-0x297 0x378-0x37f
cs: IO port probe 0x3e0-0x4ff: excluding 0x400-0x40f 0x4d0-0x4d7
cs: IO port probe 0x820-0x8ff: excluding 0x828-0x87f
cs: IO port probe 0xc00-0xcf7: clean.
cs: IO port probe 0xa00-0xaff: clean.
cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.

[root at asia] ./pccardctl status
Socket 0:
  3.3V 16-bit PC Card
  Subdevice 0 (function 0) [ _unbound_ ]

and now doing 'the old way':

[root at asia] /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
cardmgr service is not running.
