Re: Error in PCMCIA script?
Hi,
did you try to look at your modem if it works?
Use pppconfig and try to configure a connection to your ISP. Then when you have to choose your modem port let it try for you. If it finds a valid port, well your modem works, but if it tells you to configure your modem manually well your card isn't configured very well.
I've got the same problem of you and i found that the port I know is the modem (ttyS2) in the file /etc/serial.conf has an interesting skip_test near the end. try to substitute it with ^skip_test.
Then run pppconfig and it will recognize your modem.
Bye
