Try here to see if there is something to help you http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html

Try disabling plug and play in your BIOS and see if the modem shows up...

Is your modem built into your board or separate?

my modem is an internal modem

hi guy my dell is a dimension 4600 2.66 ghz /256 Mo ram
it is not listed in this site plz can u refer me to another site
thanxs man

Try looking through some of the results on this page to see if one of these helps or leads to an answer. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...rs&btnG=Search

if you can post the results of lspci here that would help (that's LSPCI, not ISPCI). Also, lsmod? Interested mostly in what model # your modem is and whether its module has been loaded (if its supported).

hi there i am having the same problem...

IMA SORRY CAN GET THE ANSWER TO MY REQUEST
I HAVE DOWNLOADED SCAN MODEM TO DETEMINE WHETER IF IT IS A HCF OR HSF (i don't even understand what does this mean ) but some told me it is necessary to detect wht kinfd of modem mine is ) but the problem is how to do that , i have downloaded it (sccanmodem can u tell me how to use it plz)
and concerning the link , i still can not get the link that will guide me to the linux driver
i'd die to surf under linux (

one more time. please log in as root. type lspci. post to here.

I just got my internal modem working under Mn 9.2. Scanmodem requires you to uncompress it to a folder such as /home/X/Scanmodem, and then in a term window log in as root, and run it(instructions in README, or INSTALL).

That should identify you're modem. Make sure you have the proper kernel source installed prior to compiling the drivers, once you obtain them.

Good luck!

i have the same problem init string problemssssssssss i don't understand this thinggggggg

I have the same model, it's a winmodem
Look at this...
http://www.modemsite.com/56k/bcm.asp
and try this driver

I'm going to try, just downloaded the file

lspci will tell you the devices on your machine. if its not detected, it won't be on the list.

lsmod tells what modules (in Windows terms, drivers) have been loaded by your OS during the bootup.

If you post these two things, perhaps you'll get the right answer. The 2.6 kernel, which is in Mandrake 10 may already have your modem driver in it, but the detection may just need a little push. I'd love to help with that push, but I can't see on your machine. An external driver may be needed anyways, but is it for the 2.4 kernel? Or 2.6? I wait.
