how do I force detection of my PCMCIA modem?
I've checked using lsmod and the pcmcia_core isn't loaded. I can
load it using modprobe but I'm kinda stuck as to where to go from there.
If I go to KPPP I can't seem to get it to see my modem.
I'm afraid that my installation (on hd) was complicated because I used
"nopcmcia" in order to boot from CD (as with Transmeta notebooks my
Sony micro-laptop uses a funky PCMCIA modem). So I did the "ide2=0x180 nopcmcia" option.
Anyway, I want to (1) be able to force the detection of new PCMCIA
devices on my laptop (I have at least three cards I want to be able to
use at various times - a Fast Ethernet card, a wireless Orinoco card, and my New Media 56k modem).
I've checked the Docs section of the site and haven't found a lot on PCMCIA modems or on forcing hardware detection post-hd install.
Can anyone offer a pointer to docs or some direct advice on the issue?
I promise to write it up in a HOWTO and add it to the WIKI once I figure out how to do this (if it hasn't already been done and I missed it).
Thanks!

I have the May 3 distribution of Knoppix 3.2.

As far as I know, PCMCIA system needs three modules :
1. pcmcia_core
2. yenta_socket or tcic or i86365(check the actual file name), depends on what chipset etc. is used for the PCMCIA hardware
3. cardmgr(a program, not module)
after loading these three, it is a matter of modifying the files under /etc/pcmcia so the correct device driver(for the PCMCIA device inserted) would be loaded.

nearly there.. now just a PPP problem
I think I'm nearly there. I went to /etc/init.d and fired up the pcmcia service (and thus got the yenta thingie and cardmgr). I was able to find the modem and configure it from KPPP and dial out.
I get a solid connection and then I get the notice that my computer is starting pppd. But pppd times out and kills itself. Any ideas as to why?
I was thinking the pppd daemon should already be running, but I don't
know where to begin looking for it.
Maybe I'm misconfigured?
thanks for the help!
cheers,
S.
