I am following these directions on Ubuntu's documentation to get a Lucent Winmodem working.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lucent
I know the modem is Lucent. Here is my modem:
Lucent Microelectronics V.92 56K WinModem (rev 03)
This comes from the instructions.
"1. make sure that you have the restricted-modules installed. This was done by default in the install of Ubuntu or Kubuntu Hoary preview."
How can I know if the restricted-modules are installed? I did a lsmod and did not find restricted-modules there.
"1. Determine if your Lucent WinModem has a DSP."
How can I know?
"2. put lt_serial and lt_modem in /etc/modules in order to get the modules loaded on boot. The modem device will appear as /dev/ttyLTM0 (that is a zero at the end). "
Does this mean to edit /etc/modules and just add lt_serial and lt_modem on new lines by themselves at the bottom of the config file?
"3. since udev rewrites /dev on each boot, and since kppp doesn't like to use /dev/ttyLTM0, you need to have a symlink created on boot (from /dev/ttyLTM0 to /dev/modem is easiest, I think). To do this, create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, and put these lines in it: #ltmodem KERNEL="ttyLTM0", SYMLINK="modem""
I am not sure if I understand these directions right. Should I use this command, "ln -s /dev/ttyLTM0 /dev/modem"? For the other directions there, should I type do this "sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules" and copy all of that to one line at the top of this new file I am making?
"4. since the 2.6.10 kernels have some problems with these modules, put the following in the grub boot commands (at the place where it will get updated!): pci=routeirq Do not forget to update grub
sudo update-grub
Example:
## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro pci=routeirq"
Why is everything commented there? Mine should not be commented I don't think. I am confused about those directions. I have kernel 2.6.10-5-386. Is pci=routeirq the only line I add? What about the code with it in the example?
