Hello, I have a powerbook1400 with Sarge installed (G3/Mediabay kernel). I also have a PCMCIA 56k modem card which I want to use to connect to the internet. Can somebody explain me how to configure wvdial so that it detects the modem card? Cardmgr and cardctl show at lease some information, that the pcmcia card is detected. Thanks in advance Stefan |

Hi, you will need a kernel with integrated 16x50 UART and PCMCIA-serial drivers. I once patched the kernel to not crash upon loading the UART driver on startup but I don't know if the kernel you use does have this patch applied but it might be. Although I did get all necessary drivers to load I did not found out how to use the modem. One has to address it as a standard PC serial port; there should be created a device node upon loading of the pcmcia-serial driver. In order to see if you need some additional driver you should post the output of "dmesg" after booting with the modem card inserted.

Hello Tobias, i am quite new on using Debian on the pb1400. I am more familiar with SuSE Linux on PC's. Therfore I am not able to copy the output from dmesg and post it here. But maybe the following helps. I habe downloaded the kernel from Florian Boelstler's web site which is the G3 Kernel with Media Bay support. dmesg report the following: PowerMac Z88530 serial driver version 2.0.1 tty00 at 0x80f04002 (irq = 2) is a Z8530 ESCC tty01 at 0x80f04000 (irq = 2) is a Z8530 ESCC, port = infrared (IrDA) . . . trex: XXX enabling card interupts trex: XXX enabling card interupts trex: XXX enabling card interupts trex: XXX enabling card interupts the command cardctl ident reports the following: Socket 0: product info: Lucent Venus, PCMCIA 56k DataFax manfid: 0x0200, 0x0001 function: 2 (serial) cardctl config reports; Socket 0: not configured So at least the card is detected and identified.

Hi Stefan, I have been successful in getting online with my PCMCIA modem. I tried wvdial but it did not configure my modem in the right way. So I used pppconfig to set up the connection and pon to dial in. The modem device name is ttyS2. You need two kernel modules: serial and serial_cs. I have patched the serial module to not probe for standard PC serial ports at startup - it oopsed but worked nevertheless. I used the 2.4.27 Debian Sarge kernel sources to compile the modules, so you will only be able to use them if your kernel is the same version. The modules I compiled are attached to this email. If you have a different kernel version, I'll also send you my kernel image. I hope you know that you load kernel modules using insmod...

Hello Tobias, Florian is correct. The kernel is 2.4.28. Does your kernel version (2.4.27) also support the media bay and G3?

Hello Stefan, "my" kernels support media bay and G3. The G3 support is even faster as I updated the G3 patch to enable all speed features of the CPU except the one that would prevent to boot linux on G3 accelerated PB1400s. I also updated the media bay support so that the kernel should not crash anymore when it is booted without the CD module inserted. The PCMCIA support is also updated to enable ejecting cards using "cardctl eject". The eject buttons can be used when installing my patched version of pmud. (When a card is ejected one has to put it into the other slot to have it activated again - and perhaps repeat ejecting and inserting a few times; the PCMCIA driver is a very incomplete thing) With the patched pmud one can also put the PB1400 to sleep - but it will power off on wakeup because I did not yet find out how to control the mediabay/pmu in the right way. I could compile a kernel for you that includes all the patches and also the drivers that are needed to use the PCMCIA modem. I could also make a bootable ISO CD image for you; I just need to know how much L2 cache your G3 card has got. If you want to have a kernel I need to know what type of kernel image you prefer: vmlinux for BootX, Mach Kernel for MkLinux Bootloader or miboot.image for miBoot.

Hello Tobias, the specification of your kernel sounds exciting. If possible I would like to get a kernel to be used with BootX. Until now, I am using the Apple MkLinux loader, but BotX seems to be more flexible. I will put all your information into my document abput Linux on PB1400 as menioned in my email yesterday.

Hi Stefan, remember that those kernels (the one you downloaded from my homepage) do not contain some PCMCIA patches, that Tobias contributed. There were some improvements that made PCMCIA work better. I guess Tobias tuned them even more in the meantime :) Florian |
