setserial

ErnstVikenstein · 05-24-2003, 03:14 PM

Actually, i need to re-enter this command each time i reboot to make the modem work. The OS is Mandrake 9.0.

setserial ttyS1 uart 16550A irq 11 port 0xe800

How can i make it work automatically at startup.

Thanks

Put it at the end of your rc.local file.

I see 1 post listed on your profile and you are asking how to make a correct setserial command permanent. I am impressed.

I am a technicien, i am currently working with Micros.. product, but i am fedup of these product, to expensive for the home users and small companies. Soon, during the summer, when things will be more quiet, i will follow a formation.

Actually, this command work with my topic 56k v90, but what would be the equivalent of autoexec.bat with linux, how could a make it permanent ?

As david_ross mentions, the files in /etc/rc* are usually where startup scripts are located.
There is also a /etc/setserial.conf that may be appropriate.
Please mention the distribution of Linux you are using for more information.
I am still impressed with an intelligent question on a first post. I hope we can give you an intelligent answer.
Did I forget to say welcome to Linuxquestions?

if rc.local exists in your version of linux
in /etc/rc.d
you can

cat >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
setserial ttyS1 uart 16550A irq 11 port 0xe800
control-d # to save

I was succesfull with this :
in file:/usr/lib/linuxconf/redhat/scripts/linuxconf

i added the following lines

# Ceci est un fichier de configuration pour le port serie employé par le modem
cd..
cd dev
setserial ttyS1 uart 16550A irq 11 port 0xe800

just before the exit $RETVAL, after a swith case

Good .

Many thanks for your help and the Welcome
