linuxant driver fedora core 3
 

FC3 with all upates incl. latest kernel downloaded & installed. linuxant
HSF modem driver dial sounds either work (after interactive startup where
I enter "Y" to every question) or don't (after I let it boot up auto.) Modem
works OK whether sounds or not. Booting up auto. I get msg: "can't open
/dev/hsfdcp0 ....... /usr/sbin/hsfdcpd line 64" after hardware initialization
line. I tried "chmod 777 /dev/hsfdcp0" and disabled "readahead", "readahead_early" and some other stuff I figured
didn't apply to my system after inspecting "chkconfig --list" ouput. Have
never had this prob. with linuxant driver before on RH9, Vector, or Ubuntu
Distros. Any hints or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

sorry, please disregard part of question that indicated dial sounds worked
after interactive startup. I started getting the error message and silent
modem in this case also. modem still works but I would like to know how
come no sounds. Thanks

I think I solved it myself by uninstalling (rpm -e hsfmodem), reinstalling
and then before rebooting disabling hsf in chkconfig (chkconfig level
2345 off). Evidently there is something wrong with getting /usr/sbin/hsfdcpd
involved in the startup process, which uninstallation corrected. This is
fine with te way I use it.
