I am running Mandrake 10.0 and I have a Lucent V90 WildWire Modem. I need some drivers for it, and I am not sure where to get them... I have looked around, and i found on another bbs that they recommended slmodem-2.9.10.tar.gz But I ran that, and it gave me errors... If you find anything that you think, or know will work with my modem and Mandrake... or mandrake and slackware 10.0, let me know.

Thanks,

if you use 'lspci -v' what are the vendor and model numbers for the card?

If it is a win modem you may have some trouble. Some chipsets are supported by a thing called hsflinmodem or hcflinmodem.

What were the errors.

Hey Major, the only error that I get is that the command was not found... I checked out linmodems.org and they have my modem listed, they just dont have any drivers, and dont know if its PNP, so what exactly does this mean... when i try to make a connection in mandrake, it tells me that its an Agere 56kbps WildWire Modem, but that with the current drivers it is not supported by this os (Mandrake 10.0) and it told me to look up linmodems.org.... I dont know about the lspci thing though... it just told me command not found for that. Do I need to install something extra for it?

lspci is part of the pciutils package under fedora, it should be something similar under mandrake, and should definitly be on the distro disks. Since lspci gets installed in /sbin you need to be logged in as root to run it, or specify the full path to the executable (/sbin/lspci)

# lspci -v

should have an entry like:
00:0b.0 Communication controller: Rockwell International HCF 56k Data/Fax Modem (rev 01)
Subsystem: Rockwell International HCF 56k Data/Fax Modem
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
I/O ports at 8400 [size=8]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

the 00:0b.0 identifies (essentially) where it's plugged in to the main board.

if you then use

# lspci -n

one of the lines returned should look like

00:0b.0 Class 0780: 127a:2005 (rev 01)

which tells you vendor 127a and device 2005 for my rockwell modem

As there seems to be multiple WildWire / WildFire modems listed, these will give you a better idea of which modem you have. I had a look at linmodems.com and pcidatabase.com and I agree, it looks pretty bleak for your modem. Perhaps a new modem (that isn't a winmodem) might be a good low cost investment that saves you a lot of pain.
