The default serial.o should just work. Can you check if this module is already loaded ? serial.o isn't a module. (it's compiled statically.) That being said, it should work - it did fine for me the last I checked. No, it doesn't work. There is no module called serial.o. However, I tried with alias serial_cb serial_cs in /etc/modules.conf but it didn't help. Tried generic_serial in the same way. Still doesn't work. I get always keep getting "chat[2070]: Can't get terminal parameters: Input/output error" when I start PPP. i have the same problem - i see complaints at boot up - but i currently use only the ethernet connection - so i don't know if this will affect the modem. from /var/log/messages: . Jun 24 15:12:47 menudo cardmgr[311]: executing: 'modprobe serial_cb' Jun 24 15:12:47 menudo cardmgr[311]: executing: './serial start xircom_cb' Jun 24 15:12:48 menudo network: Bringing up interface lo: succeeded Jun 24 15:12:48 menudo cardmgr[311]: + /dev/xircom_cb: No such file or directory Jun 24 15:12:48 menudo cardmgr[311]: + /dev/xircom_cb: No such file or directory Jun 24 15:12:48 menudo network: Bringing up interface eth0: succeeded would be nice to have this sorted out. thanks mj- What I'm saying in that it should work is that you shouldn't need to load *any* module - the compiled in serial driver should recognize the port just fine. What does 'dmesg' say when you load the card (these messages would be *before* any of the messages from cardmgr)? Created attachment 22226 [details]
dmesg for kernel-2.4.3-12 reboot, PPP attempt, Ethernet setup

/var/log/messages for kernel-2.4.3-12 reboot, PPP, Ethernet
I know. I tried the module loading before I saw your reply. I have attached a complete dmesg and /var/log/messages for a fresh reboot of kernel-2.4.3-12 followed by an attempt to start PPP, followed by an Ethernet start. Everything worked just fine for my Xircom CardBus in 7.0, except for the 2.2.19 kernel. (2.2.19 kernel has been updated for the bug in the xircom driver) Your config is pointing at the wrong serial port. The xircom is being detected as /dev/ttyS4, your config is looking for /dev/ttyS1. That did it! Thanks a lot! I guess that I need to read the /var/log/messages file more carefully. I didn't expect the selected tty port to change with a new kernel. You can close the bug: it's not a bug! |
