Interesting. I am running Debian (unstable) pcmciautils version 014-3. I
ran /lib/udev/pcmcia-socket-startup, and no TTY gets assigned to the
Aircard. A tty does get assigned after I run cardmgr. As I mentioned
before I'm running kernel 2.6.18-3.

When I run cardmgr /dev/modem gets created as a symlink to /dev/ttyS0.
As I mentioned I tried running minicom /dev/ttyS0 and typing AT but did
not see the text showup.
