help with non-winmodem kppp errors
i am using my old NEC Versa SX laptop with a 56k pcmcia card modem, which is *not* a winmodem.
for some strange reason kppp is not available in KDE, as an icon. so, using my terminal in KDE, i type in kppp. it brings up the dialer. hopefully i have my settings correct (i may not, but i think i do). i get a large error message from debug , which boils down to: "Routing info not FoundRequest Denied" PAP authentication failed (value 19) also, in my konsole the output as the dialup is failing...it says: couldn't find interface ppp0: no such device i am frustrated. i flailed about with a winmodem for about a month. now i have what appears to be a good modem, and i still can't dial up. can anyone help, please? much appreciated, jxl |
What's your distribution and release?
# Configuring a real hardware pci modem To configure a pci modem, open an x terminal and su - to the root account: Code:
[fancy@tinwhistle fancy]$ su - Code:
Bus 2, device 2, function 0: Code:
[root@tinwhistle root]# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc400 uart 16550a Code:
[root@tinwhistle root]# pico -w /etc/rc.d/rc.local Code:
#!/bin/sh |
i wll try that now. but...is a pcmcia card modem the same as a pci?
btw- i am using mandrake 9.1 thank you |
I don't have a laptop, so I am just shooting in the dark.
Have you checked the Linux PCMCIA HOWTO? If you need the setserial command, it isn't installed by default in Mandrake, so you will need to install that first. # Mandrake links Mandrake home page Mandrake Users website Easy urpmi config for Mandrake urpmi mini-HOWTO All You Ever Wanted to Know About Urpmi But Never Dared Asking Before Easy software management: Red Carpet Maximum RPM rpmfind You didn't install the developmental packages?

thank you, but unfortunately this is way over my head, at this point.
is there anyone that can walk me through this? anyone who has done this before on a laptop? thank you, jxl |
