The most recent update of scanModem accessed at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz should ALWAYS be used!! Current UPDATE=2004_Aug_24 URLs to cogent advice are regularly entered and updated, and your problem may be solved therein. If further help is needed, send a description of your problem to: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with this ModemData.txt Attached, using the following in the email Subject Line: scanModem, redhat kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 Always send this ENTIRE Modem/ModemData.txt. It includes subtle diagnostic ouputs needed to best guide you. If your PC is a laptop, please provide Make and Modem information.

COMM services are not active Under 2.6.n kernels, there is currently modem support by: the more expensive Controller chipset modems using the open source serial code Conexant software downloaded through http://www.linuxant.com SmartLink slmodem drivers, including USB hardware USB modems using the Open Source acm.ko driver Lucent DSP (digital signal processing) chipsets but NOT: soft modems ( though some are supported by slmodem drivers) Intel 536EP and 537 modems For all other modems, support projections are not available as of this update=2004_Aug_24 PPP support module bsd_comp.ko not found! Resident PPP support modules are properly uncompressed . ======= Fedora code changes ======= SmartLink slmodem-2.9.n, Lucent/Agere DSP, Intel 536ep and 537 drivers are already Fedora competent. For usage of winmodems with the kernel-2.4.nn Fedora releases a change in the serial-like driver code of WinModems is necessary. See for guidance: http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/~wmurray/pctel/pctel.html Basically , the line: if ((tty->count == 1) && (state->count != 1)) { should be changed into: if (atomic_read(&tty->count) == 1 && state->count != 1) { This works in the ltmodem code too. See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg02360.html An error about "rs_close" during compiling is a signature that the fedora fix is needed Beginning with Fedora 2 kernel-2.6.6-1.427, kernel-headers needed for compiling drivers are provide at: /lib/modules/kernel-version/build/ Thus upgrading above kernel 2.6.5-1.358 to 2.6.6-* is Stongly Recommended redhat is not yet providing pre-compiled drivers for WinModems An AC97 modem codec was not detected Path to lspci is: /sbin/lspci --------- lspci scan ---------------- PCI_bus 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 651 Host (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS961 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 10) 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS961/2 SMBus Controller 00:02.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 07) 00:02.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 07) 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev d0) 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) 00:0e.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems (former Lucent Microelectronics) 56k WinModem (rev 01) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter ------------------------------------- PCIBUS=00:0e.0 Modem candidates are at PCI_buses: 00:0e.0 Providing detail for device at PCI_bus 00:0e.0 with vendor-ID:device-ID ----:---- Class 0780: 11c1:0440 Communication controller: Agere Systems (former Lucent Microelectronics) 56k WinModem (rev 01) SubSystem 11c1:0440 Agere Systems (former Lucent Microelectronics) LT WinModem 56k Data+Fax+Voice+Dsvd Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 Memory at e5800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] I/O ports at 9800 [size=8] Internal_test: ./scanModem test 11c1:0440 11c1:0440 redhat 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 4.0.0 The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere DSP (digital signal processing) chipset with primary PCI_ID: 11c1:0440 DSP=1 === Checking 11c1 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ==== Vendor 11c1 corresponds to Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems, Inc.
