i just installed mandrake 9.1 but when i did autodetect for modem for internet connection... it says modem is not supported and go to linmodems.org.. i have no idea what to do with this.. pleease help!!!

The Lucent modem is actually a Winmodem - it has no onboard controller. Instead it uses the operating system and cpu. I'm still in process trying to get mine to work on my laptop. At present, I have a pcmcia modem taking up one of my slots.

Check the site out - it will give you some ideas:

http://www.linmodems.org/

http://www.heby.de/ltmodem

here i have found an RPM package that solved the problem with mandrake 9.1 and my toshiba satellite.

try it!

bye

I had the same problem with my Toshiba 1905, it has a Lucent modem and found this page that details how to install it in RH, but is basically the same with Mandrake.

You could go to
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.html to download a program that could tell something about your modem and post it.
So, i could tell you which modules or rpm you need.

ok.. i just downloaded the zip file... can u tell me howto copy it to linux with the use of a floppy disc? im really new to ths sir and im getting frustratrated.

I assume you had download a linux format zip. Next you got do was to extract where ever you want then run a .sh file which named either "scan modem" or "list modem" in that extracted folder.
If you have gotten an window format zip, then just unzip it to a directory. and just by double click the file to run it.

Then, please post the output of that in order to let me decide which rpm do you need to fix your modem.

i just followed the command on the website as it says non connexant.

-hope this is tha info that you need

try to download

http://www.mandrakeclub.com/download...-2mdk.i586.rpm

you need also ltmodem-kernel, you can find it here,

http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/linux/r...ltmodem-kernel

find the one that fits your kernel number....


hope it helps

maybe you are not in mandrake-club..
could this be better?

ltmodem

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/...-2mdk.i586.rpm

if you didn't upgrade your kernel you maight have 2.4.21.0.13

so ltmodem-kernel is here

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/...-2mdk.i586.rpm

if you have a different kernel let me know...

sorry for my last message...

i did try both but it says something about bad signature. what do i need to do next.. btw, the kernel number is the same.

don't mind about bad signature, it always appens but doesn't matter. chose install anyway... it's safe.

whenever i click continue it just aborts the whole install process. it also says something about the ltmodem-8.26a9 not being present. i downloaded tha tar file.. i just doesn't know what to do with it. i did open it... please tell me what i need to do next.
