Can anyone tell me how to get a pcmcia controller working in suse 10.0?
Things have changed so much with the kernel 2.6 that much of the material
that I have found is no longer applicable.

I'm trying to get suse 10.0 to install a PCMCIA modem, but have been unable
to do so thus far. The card is recognized by the system but there are no
files established in /sys/class/pcmcia relating to the pcmcia_socket. I
assume that if I could get a pcmcia socket established, I might be able to
get the modem installed.

I still have no idea how to install a PCMCIA modem after suse 10 is
completely installed, but I did determine how to get my modem installed.
During the installation process when there is a hardware check that says
there is no modem, ask to change that result. From a previous installation
of RedHat 7.1 I knew that the device used by Linux to communicate with my
modem was /dev/ttyS3. By inserting this information along with info about
my internet access carrier, I now have a working modem.

However, a Yast hardware check still says that I have no modem, and the
system monitor says that I have no pcmcia controller. I always was bothered
by the fact that suse 10 recognized that I have pcmcia slots and even
identified the modem through pccardctl, but it still wouldn't complete the
installation.
