| 171880 | 2003-08-31 05:56:00 | I have posted this to linuxquestions and suse,but with no joy. I have just installed a old Lucent pci modem,downloaded the required drivers for Mandrake 9.1 and SuSE 8.2.MDK 9.1 is working fine,but I can not get SuSE 8.2 to recognize the pci modem. lspci -v: 00:09.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics F-1156IV WinModem (V90, 56KFlex) (rev 01) Subsystem: GVC Corporation LT WinModem 56k Data+Fax+Voice+VoiceView+Dsvd Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at cefebf00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] I/O ports at d400 [size=8] I/O ports at d000 [size=256] Capabilities: [f8] Power Management version 2 I manually load lt_modem and lt_serial and then check the loaded modules.OK Running wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf gives the output:sorry no modem was detected. Any help would be appreciated Lachlan. |

| 171881 | 2003-08-31 07:29:00 | If the modem you've installed is a windows software based modem (Winmodem) then it won't work under Linux. There are some which do work but it's one heck of a mission to get it up and running. Personally i would spend some cash to but a modemt that linux supports and preferrably one which comes with actual Linux drivers hope that helps. PS: I do recall seeing a post on the RED HAT site regarding software (Winmodems) running under Linux. They had a step by step guide, tried looking for it but no luck.... sorry :( |

| 171883 | 2003-08-31 09:02:00 | Most latest versions of Linux support Winmodems. So a little bird told me ;-);-);-) | Holy Cow (4475) | ||
| 171884 | 2003-08-31 10:29:00 | I have the Lucent pci modem working with Mandrake 9.1(I am using it now).I have the correct drivers for Suse 8.2(thanks to ltmodems),but I can not get Suse to detect the Lucent pci modem. Lachlan |

| 171885 | 2003-09-01 04:32:00 | I would say that Suse expects more from users than Mandrake. ;-) Have a look at what Mandrake has set up with: "dir -l /dev/modem" on the Mandrake machine. It will be a link to the actual "machine name" for the modem. I'm pretty sure that all modem-using programmes will expect the /dev/modem to be set correctly. | Graham L (2) | ||
