nokia_cs on RedHat ... to be continued

[safran62]

Hi all,

Now, as i have managed the build of the module, there still remain some problems (and questions).

After installing (using ``make install'') I've ran ``depmod -a'', which gave me "Unresolved symbols in nokia_cs.o", will this hurt me? (It should, and what could have went wrong?)

``modprobe nokia_cs'' loads the module, but gives me a warning about the fact, that the module taints the kernel. This probably shouldn't hurt.

Now I need to create the device, but I can't. (
I'd have to run ``mknod ttyNC0 c MA MI'', but I don't know the values of MA and MI.
``dmesg'' only gives:
D211:-----------------------------------------------
D211: - Nokia D211 multimode radio card driver
D211: - Version 1.04 (Tue Nov 19 14:11:57 EET 2002).
D211:-----------------------------------------------
... and the file /proc/net/nokia_cs doesn't come up.

This could be a further problem. In /var/log/messages I find:
Jan 24 14:30:47 bolero cardmgr[480]: unsupported card in socket 0
Jan 24 14:30:48 bolero cardmgr[480]: product info: "Nokia", "D211"
Jan 24 14:30:48 bolero cardmgr[480]: manfid: 0x0124, 0x1120 function: 6 (network)

Any suggestions?

Due to the fact, that we need the card for the only purpose, to send SMS to real mobile-phones. Will we need to set up PPP ?????

Thanks in advance
Frank

PS: Oooh, I HAVE proc support in the kernel (of course), and PCMCIA is up and running.

Okokokok, ALL of these unresolved syms are important, but the commented ones should explain, why I don't get the /proc/net/nokia_cs file.

The box is a vanilly RedHat8.0 installation.

Hello,

Unresolved symbols is not a problem here. You should have restarted the PCMCIA by running the restarting script (/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart).

You don't need to create the device (ttyNC0). Card start script (etc/pcmcia/nokia_cs) will do it for you.

PPP is not required if you just want to send SMS.


Best Regards,
