Title Pcmcia.generic detects "Unknown" card
Ref. No. QNX.000001658
Category(ies) PCMCIA, Configuration, Character I/O
Issue We are using Pcmcia.generic and have a modem card which is not detected.  The output of pin is
Sock  Win  Type  Flags  PID    Base  Size  IRQ  Base2  Size2  DMA
1          Unknown C---MF--------- None
2          Unknown ----MF--------- None







Solution The server is detecting a card, but is unable to determine the type of card.

There may not be a configuration entry for this card in the /etc/config/pcmcia.cards file.
Type "pin config >> /etc/config/pcmcia.cards".

Dev.ser needs to be started with the proper options, which depends on the hardware setup.
eg. If there is a standard serial port at 3f8,4 then Dev.ser would be started like this:

Dev.ser 3f8,4 p1,2 &

This registers the names
/dev/ser1  --> standard COM1
/dev/ser2  --> For pcmcia serial card in slots 1 or 2
