Ärende: Getting PCMCIA modem to work
====================================
Hello Alexey,

 SH> I purchased a Zonet V.92 PCMCIA Modem Card, model ZFM5600CF based on
 SH> the specifications saying that it works with Linux.  According to the

 AV> First question: what does `uname -a` say?

uname -a reports Linux slhmobile 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 28
03:38:34 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux.

 AV> Hardware problems are mostly distribution-independent

OK.  That confirms what I was thinking.

 AV> I bet there's second case. If you have some hardware which is detected
 AV> by ${offtopic} as "standard PCMCIA modem", it usually runs perfectly
 AV> with
 AV> ${echotag}.

Which I expected to be the case as well.

 SH> When I try to set up KPPP, I can try every variation of device listed in
 SH> the pulldown list, and it says it can't find a modem to use.

 AV> Had you tried to rebuild the kernel or PCMCIA package?

No.  I haven't had much success with kernel rebuilding.  Usually the
result is a non-working system.  I need to find a local Linux guru to
walk me through it a couple of times until I learn what to do and what
to avoid.

 SH> When I use the hardware browser, I can see the modem listed.  What I
 SH> can't seem to find is the device that it is being assigned so I can
 SH> specify it for use.  It sure isn't /dev/modem, /dev/ttys1, etc.  Is
 SH> there a command to discover where it is?  If so, I would greatly
 SH> appreciate someone letting me know what it is.

 AV> First, try to access /dev/ttyS0...ttyS3. If that doesn't help, make
 AV> sure your /usr/src/linux contains actual kernel source (well
 AV> configured) and rebuild the PCMCIA package. Rebuilding the kernel as
 AV> monolythic one (instead of modular) will also be a good solution.

 AV> And, of course, show us the output of `uname -a` and `lspci -v`.

I'll try looking at the /dev/ttys0...ttys3 again.  Thanks.
