pcmcia modem, yellow dog 2.3, g3 wallstreet

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

I compiled a new 2.4.20 kernel and included all the pcmcia options. I'm sure
using one of benh's or bitkeeper kernels from linuxppc.org will have this
too.This had all the modules I needed to get my pcmcia modem working.

Here is some info I found in the list archives concerning pcmcia modems on TI
PowerBooks:

This worked for me.
