Security and Networking / How-TO: Connet CF GPRS/GSM (AudioVox RTM8000) to internet

It sounds like you need to add an identifier to the system so that it realises that this type of card is, basically, a serial device.

what does "cardctl status" and "cardctl info" tell you?

Cheers for the reply. Below are the outputs. I've also included the entries in /var/log/messages when I insert the card:

[root@umbriel ~]# cardctl status
Socket 0:
  3.3V 16-bit PC Card
  function 0: [ready]
Socket 1:
  5V 16-bit PC Card
  function 0: [ready]
[root@umbriel ~]#


[root@umbriel ~]# cardctl info

PRODID_2="SmartCardBus Reader"
PRODID_3="V1.0"

/var/log/messages entries when card is inserted:

Hi All,

I use the AudioVox RTM-8000D GPRS card on an Zaurus SL-5600 running OpenZaurus 3.5.3 with no problems. Getting it going was tricky. I've written a step by step howto covering the details. It's available here:

http://www.glugers.org/content.php?article.2

I'm now trying to get the RTM-8000D working on Fedora Core 4 with no success so far. It's plugged into my laptop via a CF-to-PCMCIA card. My dmesg output is simply:

cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: excluding 0xa0000000-0xa00fffff
0.0: RequestIO: No more items

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
George
