I had managed to configure my PCMCIA GPRS to work with wvdial.

Now for reasons I do not understand upon insertion of the card NOTHING 
seems to happen (for instance with tail -f /var/log/syslog) !!!!

Of course the wvdial.conf is useless now since /dev/modem does not 
appear anymore.

What could I start looking for ?

2.6.10 kernel with hotplug and udev.

TIA,
Bob

The folllowing worked fins:
bob@t40:~$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Baud  = 115200
Init1 = AT+CFUN=1,1
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Init4 = AT+CPIN=XXXX
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","UNI.TIM.IT","",0,0
Dial Command = ATD
Phone = *99***2#
Username = XXXXXXXXXXX
Password = XXXXXXX

(of course the XXXX are there for a minimum of intimacy :->)
