Package: base
Severity: normal
I have a XIRCOM Realport REM65G-100, pluged into Dell Inspiron 3700.
I tried to install the card, drivers where present, the card is detected, but
won't work. I found this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/45295
In this bugreport people are advising to eject the card and insert it while the
laptop is on. It works!
Quote:
"BTW, the Xircom card is a multi-device card (LAN and modem device) and the
modem is detected and configured during boot, but not the LAN.
The kernel module 'serial_cs' is loaded and bound to the device
The kernel module 'xirc2ps_cs' is loaded but not bound !?
Might the problem be related to udev ?"

'lsmod' shows some lines that may be inetresting:
xirc2ps_cs 10343 0
serial_cs 13924 1
pcmcia 16194 2 xir2c2ps_cs,serial_cs
pcmcia_core 20150 5 xir2c2ps_cs,serial_cs,pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic
'dmesg' has some interesting lines too:
[13.877155] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into
slot 0
[14.409329] pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registered new device pcmcia0.0
maybe 'find / -name xir*' can be interesting:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/xircom_cb.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.ko
/sys/bus/pcmcia/drivers/xirc2ps_cs
/sys/module/pcmcia_core/holders/xirc2ps_cs
/sys/module/pcmcia/holders/xirc2ps_cs
/sys/module/xirc2ps_cs
Hopfully I can help resolving this bug.
