Hello,
I am sorry for the long delay in reply.
Here is the result of setting the debug outputs of your recent patch to xe
driver
to verbose mode and recompiling it under 5.1 release with OLDCARD.
The first section is with pccard.conf set to ethernet and the second one
with modem configuration.
No success in ethernet mode, but inspite of the errors, the modem works
ok.
I booted with 4.8 CD (only booted, not installed) and the xe was
recognized autimatically
as a network interface, what I actually dreamt of under 5.1 !
I hope this gives you a clue.
Regards,
Shahab.
