SM56 Users plz read
Hi ,
y dont u try to use the sm56 modem on any version of linux by running the redhat 7.1 kernel ?? , ie .. install redhat 8 or 9 or whatever distro.. force install the old kernel rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.2.i686.rpm --force them edit ur grub to boot into the 2.4.2 kernel (of course ext 3 filesystem wont work ) but if u still use a ext2 filesystem ur in for some luck i also suggest that redhat should give an option to stick to the present kernel during an upgrade . this can save a lot of headache !! btw i am not any kernel guru or anything but i feel that 2.4.2 works more faster than 2.4.18... .. my system is more faster on 2.4.2 kernel ..:) cheers to all |

And how fast your system is depends mainly upon your hardware and I have been getting reasonable performance from all the three kernels that I use.Maybe your newer kernels were bloated with many unneccessary drivers and modules ,decrease them for a better performance.
