Cannot configure xircom modem on suse 9.1
Hi,
I have a Compaq Armada m700 laptop with SuSe 9.1 on it. When I installed SuSe it didn't detect my built in modem, so I plugged a Xircom LAN/Modem combo (PCMCIA) in. It installed automatically and asked for configuration. I chose all the defaults. As I try to connect to the Internet I get the following error in Kinternet:
Code:
SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.16 on linux.
Status is: disconnected
trying to connect to smpppd
connect to smpppd
Status is: disconnected
Status is: lurking
Status is: disconnected
pppd[0] died: pppd options error (exit code 2)
I run lscpi -v and I got the following about this card:
Code:
0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Xircom Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 (rev 03)
Subsystem: Xircom Cardbus Ethernet 10/100
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 4400 [size=256M]
Memory at 10400000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
Memory at 10400800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
Expansion ROM at 00004000 [disabled]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
0000:02:00.1 Serial controller: Xircom Cardbus Ethernet + 56k Modem (rev 03) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem: Xircom CBEM56G-100 Ethernet + 56k Modem
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 4480 [size=256M]
Memory at 10401000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
Memory at 10401800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
Expansion ROM at 00004000 [disabled]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
Then I checked the configuration of Kinternet and it was set to:
device: /dev/ttyLT0
listed /dev and there was no ttyLT0.
After that I found a posting on this site that offered to make
ln -s /dev/ttyLT0 /dev/modem
I ceated the dynamic link but when I try to dial I still get the same error as when I started (pppd[0] died: pppd options error (exit code 2)).
Can someone help me?
