Re: Xircom CE-10BT works under DOS but not Linux

Hi Werner,

I've made a lot of progress. I reinstalled from scratch and found a
warning about Cirrus PCMCIA cards in the PCMCIA card setup.  Said to
set them to "fast_pci."

I did and now at least cardmgr works.  It gives a high "bip" when
card is pulled out and a low "pup" when I reinsert.  cardmgr lists
its messages in /var/log/syslog which is great.  I don't understand
why it clearly identifies my card and yet says it is not supported.

Questions:
1) What is the command that sets up the PCMCIA cards?  Like the way
modconf sets up modules?  What file does it edit?  I wonder if I
need to do more to make the PCMCIA controller work?
2) OK I am stuck with slink until I get this card working.  But is
the latest PCMCIA stuff available as a *.deb and would it fit on a
floppy or two?
3) Do these messages from syslog and /var/log/messages help at all?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick
