Hi,
I've a problem with a Sierra Wireless AirCard 881 (PCMCIA) on my ThinkPad X41.
It correctly attaches as umsm0, but then only the first port (ucom0) is
configured and this port is not "AT-capable". The card has instead four serial
ports and the third (ucom2) is the one that accepts AT commands.
Since this card works ok under both winxp and linux, I think I can exclude
hardware related problems.
This is an extract from dmesg:
ohci0 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0 "NEC USB" rev 0x43: irq 11, version 1.0
usb5 at ohci0: USB revision 1.0
uhub5 at usb5 "NEC OHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1

And output from "usbdevs -dv":

Following are informations I've collected using a linux livecd: note that we
have four ports recognized as ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2 and ttyUSB3, where
/dev/ttyUSB2 is the one that can be used for ppp.
Can anybody help me?
cheers,
David
