Thanks, Matt. Looks like Gutsy doesn't do usbfs by default, and I
manually added the following line to /etc/fstab:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
So, now I have usbfs. However, it turns out that the real reason my
Verizon card doesn't work is that my laptop has an Express card slot,
not a PCMCIA card slot! Even though the PCMCIA card fits in the slot,
and appears to connect, the Express card connectors are only part of
the width.
There is at least one vendor advertising adapters to allow a PCMCIA
card to plug into an Express slot on PC or MAC. But, it seems to
require a driver, and of course the only drivers they have are for
Vista and OS X.
Has anyone on this list successfully used a PCMCIA to Express card
adapter with Linux? Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
