Mr Dominik, all,

               I tried your patch on top of the kernel 2.6.17.13 that
came with ubuntu
       edgy (and had sufficient trouble with it, I do not know if I'll be able
       to try with a recent kernel.). This message is in copy to akpm which
       asked me a report on the same problem.

       I applied your patch and this one:
       http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/1/179

       but the kernel continues to ignore the second function of my card.
       Moreover, now the modem does not work even with the dear old cardmgr:

       Mr Morton, do you still think I should open a bug in bugzilla? Even if I
       have not tested a newer kernel? It seems to me that nothing has changed
       over there, and this _is_ a regression (from 2.6.13, even).

       Romano

       PS: can anyone point me to a tutorial on howto install a new kernael
       easily on ubuntu? The procedure they point to (creating deb package,
       installing, etc) are quite cumbersome. Anyway, I will try.
