I have a Noname GSM/GPRS CF card that used to work fine with the Sharp ROM. Well i loaded OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1 since i was tired of using the sharp rom and wanted something with more options. I have a Wifi card that the network app recognized and works fine, but the modem card isn't. what's the stabdard way to use modem cards with OZ? do you just use linux pppd? or is there a helper app that works with OPIE?

OPIE 1.2.1
Linux Kernal 2.6.16
OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1

Thanks!
MrN

I believe the modem card should be identified as a standard serial pcmcia device (serial_cs module). You may have to run
> cardctl ident
Get the card identifiers and add them to /etc/pcmcia/config as a card mapped to serial_cs module.

actualy OPIE reports a "Serial or Modem" card when inserted. and there is a corresponding entry in /etc/pcmcia/config for serial_cs with this description... am I OK to use ppp then?
Thanks!

type dmesg to make sure it's got a serial port attached (ttyS3 or so) and it should be fine...
