I am trying to get this new fangled internet on the road thingy to work and am stumbling, stumbling, falling...
First off, after insertion dmesg tells me:
1.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
But try as I may, minicom is refusing to talk to anything on ttyS2.
Here my modules:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq ppp-generic cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave e1000 slhc ipw2200 ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-ac97-codec snd-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0m soundcore)
Here my daemons:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @sshd @cpufreq @openntpd @cups @hal @fam @alsa @sensors @gamin @network @kdm netfs @crond @wicd @slmodem-alsa)
What on earth am I missing? I've googled and it apparently should just work. I've checked this forum, ditto. Nothing in the wiki that I found.
Any ideas, links, hints out there?
Cheers

It appears that I did not include all the info necessary (and to bump this up just a bit ). I want/need to get this UMTS thing working. Unfortunately factsheets etc. for this card are not available to mere mortals from the Novatel website
The Merlin U530 is an oldish Novatel pcmcia card which I am trying to get to work on an IBM T41.

I don't know what I did or didn't do but all of a sudden they are handshaking and off I go!
Result: a somewhat non-plussed but happy toad

CROAK!
I inserted the card next day and guess what - the modem wasn't there!
Apart from quite enjoying this monologue and upping my post count I now need to check whether it is the card or the computer which doesn't play as it ought to. Bother!
