Knoppix modem installs but doesnt
G'day guys
I just got Knoppix v3.2 and I love IT!! I love it more than my copy of Mandrake 9.1 Anyway i just got my windmodem going under mandrake and can connect to the internet but when i do the same thing it says it work (but tainted the kernel) but still /dev/modem isn't there. any ideas? this is wat i do: ./configure --with-hal=pctel789 make --GOTO ROOT-- insmod pctel.o insmod ptserial.o and it works FYI For mandrake i use insmod -f but knoppix didnt need it |
:scratch:
|
check to see if it is using a different device instead of /dev/modem... for example, my Sprint PCS Cell phone installs as a USB device /dev/ACM01 or something, I then repoint the link for the /dev/modem if I want
Good Luck |
wats the command to repoint a link?
|
ls -l for long output, ls -a for all files, try using: ls -al | more
using the pipe more will allow you to view page by page... if your looking for just the modem link, then use: ls -al | grep -i modem Good Luck |
Ok, I havind the Most Difficult Time with my Modem!!
I got it to Recogize but it Won't get past the initialization |
Dr. Snark,
Are you sending the correct init string... what type of modem? internal, external, win-modem, riser card? |
i tried checking the other devices, it isn't linked to anywhere that i know of, any other ideas?
|
It's a Winmodem -- HSP 56Micromodem to be Exact..
I downloaded the minicom Package, Tried that, I use the Port ots supposed to be on but it keeps saying "Modem is Busy." but when i use another port it just hangs there.. I even linked to to /dev/modem and still NO LUCK, I can't afford 99 bucks for a Hardware modem, i've been looking, LOL.. but I Do want to get it working. |
Hey Pals Got to help me. I have a conexant HCH PCI internal modem. Got its drivers, both source and rpms. How do I install it on Knoppix and Madrake 9.2
Please Help |
cam34,
are the modules for the pctel installed? Dr. Snark, isn't the HSP 56 made by pctel? if so then try the same modules that cam34 was using in the begining of this post... xmen24, Is HCH the manufacturer, is it a winmodem? your drivers should have come with a readme on how to compile and use them, maybe give a link where they were found... Also, you can try this link, http://free.hostdepartment.com/g/gro....html#Database |
Sorry mispelt HCF for HCH.
I am Running Knoppix off the CD. So I am bound to get read/write error. Can I install it directly into the Ramdrive The Cd creates during booting as HD install will take a huge space. |
Yeah It won't recogize my modem
When I get to The insmod ptserial.o it says "device not found" BTW: that site: 500- Account Disabled I Don't know -- Every Module I've seen is either for Mandrake or REdhat -- None for Debian |
Oh Screw it
Yeah :mad:
I Tried numerous Times to Compile the PCTEL code and GUESS WHAT: I get to the lat part, when the README says: make install i get this pci=x20???? in the compile and won't make the serial.0 im getting realy ticked when other people can connect and i can't :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :cry: :cry: :cry: |
Hope you already found this, but if not
