Cardbus not showing

[Perpiñán Lamigueiro, Oscar]

Hello,

I am trying to use a Option 3G-Quad card in a Dell Precision M70 with Debian testing and kernel 2.6.16.
Since this card works as USB-serial and in my kernel CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m, I write:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0xaf0 product=0x6300

and then insert the card.. I get:


# cardctl status 
Socket 0: 3.3V CardBus card function 0: [ready] function 1: [ready] 
# cardctl config 
Socket 0: Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V interface type is "cardbus" irq 177 [exclusive] [level] 
function 0: Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V interface type is "cardbus" irq 177 [exclusive] [level] 
function 0: 
# cardctl ident 
Socket 0: no product info available 
# cardctl info PRODID_1="" PRODID_2="" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,0000 FUNCID=255

so card seems to be more or less working. However, no /dev/ttyUSB* nodes are created, and lsusb doesn't show new USB's in the system. Therefore, the card is not accesible.
I have added "pci=assign-busses" to the kernel boot and even created nodes manually with no result. 

In order to check that pcmcia is working I use:

# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start 
* Linux >= 2.6.13-rc1 and udev is enabled; use pcmciautils instead 
# /etc/init.d/pcmciautils start PCMCIA bridge driver already present in kernel 
#/pcmciautils stop PCMCIA bridge driver already present in kernel 
# /etc/init.d/pcmciautils restart PCMCIA bridge driver already present in kernel

I don't know if that means that PCMCIA is started correctly.

When I insert the card, I can find next message in /var/log/messages:

localhost kernel: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0

During boot process, the kernel gives this message, which I don't know if it is important:

localhost kernel: pcmcia: This interface will soon be removed fr om the kernel; please expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools. 
localhost kernel: pcmcia: see http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ut ils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html for details.

I attach my dmesg.

Thanks for your help.
