I can confirm the same problem exists with my setup which is a Compaq Presario
2140US running FC5.  I have been able to get a Belkin wireless network card
working with ndiswrapper, so the card slots do work.

Comment 2 Stephen Haffly 2006-07-04 08:59:29 UTC

Additional information:

lspci -v contains the following applicable to the CardBus slots:

hwbrowser shows up the following in the MODEM section:

INTEL CORP V92 MODEM AT-MD56XX 5.41  Driver:  serial-cs

The folowing is for the PCMCIA/PC Card Devices:

I hope that this helps to track down why it isn't working.

is the serial-cs module loaded?

Comment 8 Harald Hoyer 2006-07-05 15:08:14 UTC

And none of ttyS0-ttyS3 represents the modem?

Comment 9 Dan Beard 2006-07-05 16:23:40 UTC

ttyS0  failed with error 8
ttyS1  failed with error 8
ttyS2  failed with error 8
ttyS3  failed with error 8
/modem failed with error 2

Comment 10 Dan Beard 2006-07-05 16:27:32 UTC

FYI- further testing reveals external Zoom v.90 model 2948C modem on com1
(supplied by docking station) works peachy keen on ttyS0.

Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're
sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted
on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to
make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks.

If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6,
please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly
encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to
refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs
for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL

If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days
from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in
the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If
you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting
the change.

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

The process we are following is outlined here:

Comment 13 Stephen Haffly 2008-04-08 16:44:01 UTC

I have attempted to change the version to Fedora 8 as the same problem still
exists.  However, I am unable to change the version number.

HWbrowser recognizes and shows the modem, but system-config-network says that
there is no modem installed.

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 06:59:53 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 17 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 06:57:51 UTC

Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
