AdrianG United Kingdom. Xubuntu 6.10 kernel 2.6.17-10-generic

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I sent a request yesterday but with an inadequate subject line.

I have loaded 536EP drivers as detailed on the Ubuntu wiki and it seemed to
go alright but gnome-ppp says that it cannot make the modem work when it
tries to connect.

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  00:0e.0
   Class 0780: 8086:1040 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 536EP Data Fax Modem
      Primary PCI_id  8086:1040
 Support type needed or chipset:	INTEL536EP
 

 In 2006, Intel appears to have ceased updates for Linux.
 For the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems, the most current support is provided at:
       http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
 But regular support is not available, see:  http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
:
 The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
       http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
 Read Intel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


Writing Intel.txt

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2


 
 Compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1
   kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 260920 2006-07-10 20:13 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0

crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem

lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: ath0 wifi0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
