BCM V.92 56K Modem Mandrake 9.1 Driver?

linman · 08-27-2003, 09:56 PM

Hello there!

I installed Mandrake 9.1 on my DELL Dimensions Desktop. Everyting worked fine until i tried to setup my internet connection no modem detected nor winmodem. I can see my modem in my pc hardware list but in module it says unknown. The issue here is i need a driver for my BCM V.92 56K Modem using Mandrake 9.1. i wonder if you or some one you know have succeded installing this kind of modem in Mandrake 9.1. If so please let me know were can i find the drivers and wich steps are necesary to set it up cause i am new at linux. By the way in Windows XP my modem appears like BCM V.92 56K and in Linux BCM V.90 56K if this matter. Also i got this data from the modems log ven_14e4&dev_4212&subsys_00011028.
Thanks to any one answers this thread, any help will be apreciated.

Hi If you are visiting this tread its maybe because you have been all around the net trying to find answers to your problem installing a BCM V.90 56k Modem. I hope this helps you and also hope some reply wheter it works for you or not.

1.-The very First thing you have to do is to install your kernel Sources provided in your 3rd. CD. Or download it from the net and then install it. You can find what your Kernel version is by typing uname -r in the terminal window.

2.-Once the Kernel Sources instaled download the file from the link http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~cxg97...4.19-6.src.rpm .

This driver is for RedHat 7.2/7.3 so we need to make the rpm for our kernel version.

3.- Open a terminal window, type su and when asked for password type de root password of your system. Move to the directory were you saved the uncompressed files and type rpmbuild --rebuild BCMSM-3.4.19-6.src.rpm (Don't worry about the error messages at this step ).

4.- Move to /usr/src/RPM/SPECS (cd /usr/src/RPM/SPECS), type chmod 666 BCMSM-3.4.19.spec this is to change the permissions of the file allowing us to modify it.

5.-Open the spec file BCMSM-3.4.19.spec with any text editor i used Kwrite, and replace all the references to 2.4.18-27.8.0 with your kernel version, in mi case it was 2.4.21-0.13mdk (The resulting of uname -r), then save the spec file with the changes you made (There must be 6 replaces).

6.- Make sure the symbolic link /dev/modem doesn't exist (ls -l /dev/modem), if it exists remove it by typing rm /dev/modem and answer yes when asked to remove. (This worked for me, i only had my BCM modem attached to my computer, if you have another modem be carefull.)

7.-Type rpmbuild -bb --target i686 BCMSM-3.4.19.spec while you are at /usr/src/RPM/SPECS. If all goes fine by now you must have the fileBCMSM-3.4.19-6.i686.rpm in the path /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686 (ls -l /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686)

8.- Move to /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686 and type rpm -ivh --replacepkgs BCMSM-3.4.19-6.i686.rpm, you will get something like this:
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:BCMSM ########################################### [100%]
...thats it.
type ls -l /dev/modem and you have to see something like this lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 11 sep 8 17:47 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttySM0. If you have it but it is backgrounded in red there must be a problem. In my system /dev/modem appears colored in light blue and /dev/ttySM0 in yellow. Now use kppp to setup your internet connection and thats it.
Again, I hope this helps you but i assume no responsability of anything taht could go wrong with your system, i repeat this worked for me but its not for sure it will work for you. I am posting this because it has been quite frustating having so many questions and no body answering them and want to share the little bit i learned the hard way from here and there. by the time i posted this my tread was visited 40 times and no replys from no body. If you find something wrong in this tutorial let me know.

I, like you installed Mandrake 9.1 on my Dell PC and everything worked fine except the modem. I found your message yesterday and tried it last night. I think I did everything correctly but when I got to [step 7], I got an error when I typed
"rpmbuild -bb --target i686 BCMSM-3.4.19.spec".

I was at /usr/src/RPM/SPECS and I was logged in as "root".

The error I got was
"bash: rpmbuild: command not found".

Do you have any ideas of what caused the error?

Thanks

linman · 09-21-2003, 12:01 AM

Not much comes to my mind right now but i remember having that message when i typed a command that i knew linux had.
Try typing at the terminal window the command 'su' with no arguments and when asked for password "type the root password of your system". I know you were loged as root but give it a try any way. Let me know if worked or not.

Have fun...!

august_west · 09-22-2003, 09:07 AM

Actually, I gave up on trying to get my modem to work and bought an external Best Data modem. It works great. Thanks for your help.

hello Linman i recently read your post on linuxquestions.org about the BCM v.90 56k modem and found that i had a problem when i tried to do it. i followed your tutorial EXACTLY, and, trust me i didnt just try it once. i keep getting this error when i try the "rpmbuild -bb --target i686 BCMSM-3.4.19.spec" when im at /usr/src/RPM/SPECS.

*****************************************************************

I dont understand why it keeps saying that. I am a complete NOOB at linux so im sorry if the solution to this problem is so obvious and its jus a waste of ur time to help me. Im pretty sure that i installed the kernel sources and all that kernel crap and the system stuff i need to do it right. at first i tried modifiing the spec file to what u told me to modifiy it as in ur tutorial. but i kept getting this error...

So then i just tried modifying the hell out of that spec file but that didnt help any. then i went online at my neighbors and tried to find a soloution to my problem and i couldnt find anything that would make it work on my system. after that i noticed that in the begining of the first error that i had it said that the kernel dir was "/usr/src/include/linux-$k"
and i noticed that my kernel dir was "/usr/src/linux/" so i just put that in and it looked like everything was gunna be ok and then at the bottom it gave me this crap at the end again.

This pisses me off so freaking much!!! i really would like to go online with my comp and i would like to avoid having to go out and buying another modem unless i absolutly have to, cuz money is always a problem with me. Dailup access is the only i-net access we have here (i live in the sticks) so i cant go for cable or anything like that.

plz, if you have any suggestions or anything that would help me that would be awsome.

P.S.-- i dont know if u can do this or if it will even work... but if you have a copy of the RPM that is for the mandrake Kernel (my kernel is 2.4.21-0.13mdk) could you email it to me? so i could just bypass the step that doesnt work.

My email is demonflyer@hotmail.com

Thank you for anything *
that you could do to *
help me on this!! *

Hi demonflyer!
I apologize for the inconvenients this has caused to you. Actually there was something wrong in the tutorial and I have corrected it (check the step number 2) everyting else is ok and as i posted before is what worked on my system. Again i apologize and understand your frustration since I my self felt that way when there was and still are many questions about Linux and too little answers or none at all. So i am trying to change that by sharing the tiny piece of knowledge i have aquired by consulting diferent forums and putting all that together. You will be receiving de rpm file with the correct instructions to install it shortly and shortly i hope you will be surfing the net with your mandrake.
Have fun.

Demonflyer · 09-28-2003, 08:45 PM

Linman,

I got ur email and everything worked perfectly!!! I thank you very much for your help on this. i am so happy that i can finally go online at home again!

Hi Lyman,
Could you e-mail me whatever you sent Demonflyer to get his modem working. runn@sover.net
Please Tell me what I am doing wrong.

Linman,

I have also some problems as runn, demonflyer...
It seems you find something wrong in your tutorial
Could you tell us more?

My email: b_m_75@hotmail.com

linman · 10-09-2003, 07:39 PM

yes, please take it easy, i am working on this again. You'll have an answer shortly.

linman · 10-09-2003, 09:37 PM

First, I apologize again but i will not send any rpm since the main idea of this tutorial is to share some knowledge and even when i am not an expert at Linux (i am a newbie as several of you) I will try to fix all bugs and errors you find in this tutorial based in the experiences i have had with Linux in order to make it functional, also i think you deserve at least an explanation of what went wrong ..
As I said before i visited several forums and web pages in order to get my modem working, during this jumps from a site to another, i picked diferent versions of the same driver but with the same name, so when at least the modem finally worked I started writing the tutorial but in the process I posted the link to Dell's driver instead of the link to the driver that worked for Me (Please if you are still interested check again the tutorial and download the right driver from the edited link -note that it is not from Dell-). I must say that now I uninstalled my modem, downloaded the src.rpm file, and i succesfully uninstalled/installed the modem 3 times with that driver and the tutorial. Also i tried to install with the previous driver from Dell having the same errors you got so i can tell you for sure that the problem this time was with the driver.

banjobacon · 10-19-2003, 08:34 PM

Thanks for the tutorial linman. It kinda works for me, and was wondering if you or anyone else could help me out with what's wrong. When I do step 8, I get the following:

I can use the modem fine after this, but after a reboot, /dev/modem points back to the old modem. Even if i try pointing kppp to the new modem, it won't work, and I have to reinstall the RPM.

What's wrong?

I downloaded the driver from the link http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~cxg9....4.19-6.src.rpm
(not the Dell driver).
I still got errors:

Hi guys
The driver should be working by now so what we can do now is
1. Make shure you have your kernel sources installed (you must have a symbolic link "/usr/src/linux" pointing to your sources for the apropiate kernel version). banjobacon, since you have your modem already installed this may not apply to you.
2. Remove any bcm modem previous driver installed in your system since this could be a point of conflict and try the installation again.
3. Remove any file generate when you perform steps 3 and 6 and try the installation again.
If you try again the installation remember to remove the /dev/modem symbolic link
The object of this is obviously first be sure you have your kernel sources and second try to make a fresh installation since there could be older drivers/files messing the install process.

Please guys note that this are only sugestions that i make based in the info you are providing and only you have the decision to try them so any damage or loss of data in your computer is your sole responsability.
Good luck!
