I posted a couple of days ago regarding a couple of questions about
recognizing a winmodem, etc. HAving poked around with windows and
a couple of other things, I think I have narrowed down my problems
to a couple of questions.
The basics: Laptop is a Thinkpad T21 running 4.6-Stable as of
6/19 (roughly).
First, why is it that no matter what configuration setting I use
in pccard.conf, the device inserted (both an orinoco wifi card and
this winmodem) insists on taking over IRQ 11. The irq line in the
pccard.conf file lists IRQ 3 5 9 10, for instance. 11 is not present,
yet it is acquired. I tried using pccardd manualling with the -i,
and -I flags, still it grabbed 11.
Second, how exactly are pccards detected? In other words, should
the modem be showing up in a scan using pciconf -lv? I can provide the
output, but the card does not show. However, when the modem is inserted,
pccardd recognizes, and starts the initialization that I configured
in pccard.conf.
Last, how does ltmdm determine the type of modem loaded? Under windows,
the modem is recognized as a winmodem and running happily using the 8.22
version of the driver from agere, prior to today it was running 5.87,
I believe.
I think the first two issues may be holding up the modem from working
and being recognized. Is there any sort of information I can provde?
The dumpcis of the card? pciconf output?
Note, that the only entry shown with dmeg is what is reported by
pccardd and is:
wder# pccard: card inserted, slot 0
Jun 26 00:59:09 chowder pccardd[54]: Card "LT WIN MODEM"("PC card") [] [] has fu
nction ID 2
sio5 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 11 flags 0x40000 slot 0 on pccard0
sio5: type 16450
sio5: unable to activate interrupt in fast mode - using normal mode
Thoughts, comments?
Thanks
