Dear Mr.Antonio, ifconfig -a gives the same output for both the statuses, card plugged and card unplugged. But the PCMCIA card is recognized, the following are the output. -------------------------------------------------------------- jai@jai-laptop:~$ pccardctl status Socket 0: 3.3V 16-bit PC Card Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "serial_cs" Socket 1: no card -------------------------------------------------------------- jai@jai-laptop:~$ pccardctl ls Socket 0 Bridge [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:01:01.0) Socket 0 Device 0: [serial_cs] (bus ID: 0.0) Socket 1 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:01:01.1) -------------------------------------------------------------- jai@jai-laptop:~$ pccardctl info PRODID_1="CDMA1X" PRODID_2="CARD" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0279,950b FUNCID=2 PRODID_1="" PRODID_2="" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,0000 FUNCID=255 -------------------------------------------------------------- jai@jai-laptop:~$ pccardctl ident Socket 0: product info: "CDMA1X", "CARD", "", "" manfid: 0x0279, 0x950b function: 2 (serial) Socket 1: no product info available -------------------------------------------------------------- Hope these details might help you to help me.
