Hi there,

I was hoping someone here might be able to help me
install drivers for SM56PCI Modem on Madrake 10.

I have downloaded the latest drivers (New Motorola Version) archive from
Motorola site. (I can´t put the new link here)
However, after installation complete. My modem don't work. My Kppp and
Minicom do not recognize the modem. I'm using this command to install:
#rpm -i sm56-06.05.02-2.mdk10_263-7.i586
Could someone tell me the correct way to intall this modem??

Thanks

Diogo

I am stuck with the same problem, please let me know if you find a solution,
I really don't understand why Motorola released an untested driver.

Hi drakish. . .

I did't find a solution yet. . .!!
I just send many email to Motorola support, but nothing. . .

I have the same problem here.
SM56 driver doesnt work, and when i run it dmesg returns message, something like "Linux API cannot open device".
What would be wrong?
I tought it was an dependecies problem, so i tryed to load many modules. Whitout results.
I think Motorola (TM) released an untested driver. It can be true because when the installation was made, the script ordered to reboot the system, so when i rebooted sm56 was not louded! I had to load it, and edit modprobe to load it at intialization. I guess it order to reboot to do it.

I think it is impossible that motorola released an untested driver, thus i will install the original kernel version 2.6.3, i think it can be the problem.

hay guys, i have this problem too, but i don't really know much about linux, so i don't get most of the solutions i find..
so if u please find the solution, don't forget to drop a line here

thanks
