| |
Sorry to repost the issue but I got no reply...
2.4.3-pre3 and synced-up versions of the -ac series remove support for PCMCIA serial CardBus. In drivers/char/pcmcia the Makefile and Config.in files are modified to exclude serial_cb and the serial_cb.c file itself is removed by the patch. As a net result, my Xircom modem port becomes invisible to the kernel and I can't dial out through it.
As a temporary measure I backed out the changes in drivers/char/pcmcia and my 2.4.3-pre4 kernel seems happy (in fact I am dialing out through said Xircom modem).
Did I miss some announcement for replacement features for serial_cb or did a bad patch slip in ?
Thanks & ciao,
