A fairly basic question for which Google provided no help...
Is there any straightforward way to identify a PCMCIA card as a modem?
(No jokes about reading the label please.)
I've got a rule written using the SYSFS{manf_id} and SYSFS{card_id} of
my modem, but I'd like to make it more general.
Thanks!

Wild guess for a rule that matches all PCMCIA serial ports and thus all hardware PCMCIA modems (but I have no PCMCIA devices, so no guarantees): DRIVER="serial-cs", SYMLINK+="pcmcia-modem" Of course that's oversimplified and doesn't work for the case where there are two modems. There is no generic way to identify PCMCIA winmodems. -- Alexander E.

Usually you look at the CIS: http://www.pcmcia.org/pccard.htm#04 So SYSFS{func_id} may indicate a serial port. Don't know how reliable that information is in reality. You may want to ask the guys here for specifics: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pcmcia Kay _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
