T-mobile UMTS on FC5/Toshiba Tecra M3


I'm trying to get a t-mobile web n walk pro service running on my Toshiba Tecra M3, using an Option Globetrotter Fusion card.

I've tried to follow the instructions at http://www.pharscape.org/index.php?o...ask=view&id=30, but I'm falling at the first hurdle because the machine doesn't recognise the card. Pharscape says that support is built into my kernel (2.6.17-1.2174_FC5), I've checked that the right module is compiled and usbserial support is enabled.

PCMCIA is working for other cards, but when I put in the Globetrotter card, it recognises that there is a Cardbus card inserted, but nothing else:
Code:
# pccardctl status

Socket 0:
3.3V 32-Bit PC Card
And the system log just says:
Code:
localhost kernel: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
However, if I do lspci -v, it ends with three entries which I think are related to this card. At the very least the last one is:
Code:
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 43)
05:00.1 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 1fb7 (rev 43)
05:00.2 Network controller: Option N.V. Unknown device 000c
Also, since I added the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf:
Code:
options usbserial vendor=0xaf0 product=0x6000
My dmesg is now saying "unexpected IRQ trap at Vector 22" over and over ad infinitum.

I'm at a loss, and I really need to get this card working. I'm really hoping someone can help me.

You'll probably need to add an entry to pcmcia.conf file binding the card to serial.

Masonm, I don't have a pcmcia.conf file. I'm a bit confused about the PCMCIA setup in newer kernels (I'm on 2.6.17) - should I have /etc/pcmcia.conf?
