Modems doesn't detect carrier
 

I have a problem when trying to dial up and conect to internet.
I have an Intel V.92 56K ham modem.
I am using RedHat Linux 8.0 and I can´t connect to Internet

The same modem worked OK in the same PC with RedHat 7.3, I decided to actualize the OS and now I can't make it work.
The modem was properly installed (I think so) with the Intel drivers intel-v92ham-r.tgz like this:

uncompressed the tgz

make clean
make ham
make install

There weren't error messages during installation.

The problem is that when I try to conect, the modem begin dialing (I can hear it) and when the athentication procces begin (I can hear it too) the modem immedately begin dialing again, it doesn't wait until conect, it try once and again all the time. The line on the ISP is not busy, it´s ok.

Using kppp the log says No Carrier!, it doesn't wait enough time to detect de carrier or it doesnt detect it.


Thanks a lot.

same biach
 

i have the same problem ... exact
a friend told me that the problem is that the drivers were compiled with GCC something an older version and the new kernel uses the newest version so there are 2 solutions:
wait till intel publishes a new compiled version
or switch back to the old version of kernel

nothing is wrong with the wvdial and minicom or what ever you use its the drivers!

Hi,
Exact same problem for me - I had a lot of trouble getting the OS to recognise the modem - then when I eventullay managed to dial out I was elated - not for long though - No Carrier Grrrrr:)

Hi,

I've heard that Intel-v92ham-453-R80..> from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/ does the trick. I haven't been able to install it yet though, so if anyone here has succes with it please tell.

driver works, but another problems
 

This driver works, thanks for developers!

But I have another problems , I think RH makers did big job !

But system is not so friendly.

When I attempt to open some file , where all simple editors?
In RH7.3 I have Menu item "Editors".

Where is list of all hardware to install and remove?Only "Hardware browser"
without functionality.

Run faster and windows seems to open faster , but during file searching
CPU ups to 90%, windows hang, why?

New Package manager...Brrr...Where is "Find package"?




I'm upgraded from RH7.3, not install from 0.

Re: driver works, but another problems
 

Try gedit, if it's not installed you can install it from the cd (eg using the new package manager)

I miss this too, but remember that problems with hardware and trying to make installation and removal of hardware simple aren't RH's of Linux's fault. Write the hardware manufacturers about it who refuse to give linux drivers/support.

It never worked for me anyway. The old package manager used to crash (on me for example) way too often which is why they removed it. I wouldn't be surprised if they were working on a new improved package manager right now. The new one does give the very nice functionality of making installations from the cd's easier (much like windows setup does)

I have the same problem with RH 8.0, i tried to install the package Intel-v92ham-453-R80 but when i type ´make install´ i recive this output:
bash haminst
running kernel 2.4.18-14
installing hamregistry, used for persistant storage
installing ham module
installing hamcore module
redhat hamboot rc2.d and rc3.d scripts
starting module and utilities
error loading hamcore /*it doesn´t load hamcore.o*/
done

i compiles well but doesn´t work.

i used to have RH 7.2 and i didn´t had any problems installing my intel v.92 56k ham modem with the Intel-v92ham-R package

can you people help me at this?!

1. U must have kernel sources installed,
open package manager and find it, by default sources are not installed, install kernel sources (somthing like "kernel development packages"->"General" I don't remember exactly)and do :

2.

make clean
make all
make ham
make install

i had the kernel sources and headers installed, thas why i don´t understand whats happening whit my system.
I´ll check it just in case and if i successful i´ll post it here
thanks beep_beep

i check my installed packages and i note that i have installed the kernel sources but i still can´t install my modem.
then i start locking at the makefile and the hamboot script and i realiced that the problem is that it can´t load the hamcore module to the kernel ´couse of the version i think.

make clean
make all

make ham !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



make install

there´s not a rule for make all and i tiped make ham duh!
i´m telling you, the insmod command does not load the hamcore module to my kernel!!!!
i follow those steps but in the makefile are just 3 rules
make [clean] [ham] [install]
i´ve tiped
make clean

when i try make all it returns saing that there is no rule for that in the make file, that´s not the problem.
then i typed

make ham
make install

but the last one copies all the scripts to the each folders to work every time i turn on my computer.
the make install is just a call to the shell script hamboot and this script tries to load the hamcore.o and the ham.o to the kernel an THATS THE PROBLEM, it doesn´t does this.
i thinks is because of some mismach versions between this modules and my kernel, the kernel version of the standard RH8.0
i think the version is 2.4.18-14
i can´t see rigth now ´couse i´m in windows :S

if you have the standard RH8.0 kernel version there shouldn't be a mismatch. Did it compile without any errors?
Also there a two 453-drivers on http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/ a "standard" one and one specificaly for RH8.0. Did you try them both?

Anne

Yes, i have a standard RH8.0 kernel version and it compiles without any errors, also i have tried the two 453-drives that i downloaded from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/, i´ll try installing again my RH8.0, i think the problem could come from my failed installation whit my older driver, the one that works whit RH7.2

I had that problem too, I had to remove all files related to the driver (including those in /linux/kernel/... (I'm not sure about the location, I'm on a linux box now) and then it did work.
just do locate ham* and that should get you all the files you need to remove.

Also make sure you unload the ham module (if it's loaded) before trying anything.

Goodluck!
