Lucent/Agere Win won't become linmodem
If someone could help me with this, it would be much appreciated. Here are the steps I have done thus far.
[I] Get the source-code for Lucent Agere Modem to Kernel 2.6 from: ttp://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/ltmodem-2.6-alk-2.tar.bz2 Then do this: 1)Unzip to a dir 2)Untar the archive 3)Go to The Ltmodem Directory created 4)Create /dev/ttyLT0 - mknod --mode=0640 /dev/ttyLT0 c 62 64 5)Change owner and group owner to match /dev/ttyS0 6)Create symbolic link /dev/modem to it - ln -s /dev/ttyLT0 /dev/modem 7)Edit KERNEL_DIR variable in Makefile to reflect your 2.6 kernel dir 8)Then just run make You will get ltmodem.ko & ltserial.ko. 9)Copy them to /lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/ltmodem 10)run depmod -a 11)Edit your modprobe.conf to load ltserial (not lt_serial) for /dev/ttyLT0 11.1)Insert this lines in your modprobe.conf: alias /dev/modem ltserial alias char-major-62 ltserial alias /dev/tts/LT0 ltserial 12)add the following lines to both /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.preload: ltmodem ltserial I'm running Mandrak 10.0 ran by the 2.6.3 Kernel. Thanks again |
So what's it doing?
So far all I can say is check the /dev/modem link if your using it. ls -l /dev/modem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 3 15:30 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyLT0 |
The instructions in the tarball aren't quite right.
I got mine working by adding a section like this to modprobe.conf: install winmodem /sbin/modprobe ltserial alias /dev/modem ltserial alias char-major-62 ltserial alias /dev/tts/LT0 ltserial Then I just added this to modprobe.preload: winmodem And /dev/modem should be linked to /dev/ttySLT0, not /dev/ttyLT0. The /dev/ttySLT0 won't appear until the ltserial module is loaded, so you can either reboot or modprobe ltserial to get it. |
Well look, I don't know how works exactly the /etc/modules stuff, you just need to load the modules with "modprobe ltserial", I had a similar trouble but my problem it's exactly to autoload the modules when I start my box!!
Any suggestion?? PS. I have the same driver (ltmodem-2.6-alk) and I'm running mandrake 10.0 with kernel 2.6.3 |
