Re: [Nubus-pmac-users] PCMCIA modem with powerbook 1400

[Stefan D. <a00...@ad...>]

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.
