RE: pcmcia modem troubles

[Charles Galpin <cgalpin lighthouse-software com>]

This is a must. Read the howto again, it talks about the cardmgr daemon a 
lot.

I guess pcmcia support was an option, honestly don't remeber. If you go into 
linuxconf, choose the control tab, click on control panel, click on control 
service activity you can turn it on there.

actually the script that does the work is  /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia
