Alexie http://archives.linmodems.org/6808 ========= I manage to get my ComOne MC221 Cardbus modem card working today. The only gotcha I hit was that linux detected the wrong vendor_id for the card.. It picked it up as 0xffff (invalid vendor id). (The card should be vendor_id=0x11c1, device_id=0x0440) I added another DEVICE line in the build_modules script (don't know if that was necessary) and then fed the lt_modem module the vendor_id and device_id when I modprobed it. ========= refers to the old ltmodem package. Can you do a comparable for martian_dev to recognize vendor_id=0x11c1, device_id=0x0440 on a PCMCIA card? MarvS On 3/23/07, Charles A. Landemaine <landemaine@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi Marvin and Joern, I don't know if this helps, but there a guy called James who got this ComOne modem to work, here's the message he sent to me: "There's a lot of similar modem cards out there and a lot of them were supported OK...but the ComOne one wasn't recognised by the ltmodem software properly. I looked through the sourcecode of ??something?? back in 2002 and judging by that post it was most likely ltmodem, and found a big list of vendor_ids and saw that the one for the ComOne wasn't there, so I added an extra line and then compiled it like normal. Now... I haven't actually used ltmodem since around 2003 so can't remember much of the details of how to use it... The package might have come a long way since then or be wildly different, but if you search through the sourcecode for vendor_id= then you should be heading in the right direction". And here is the message he sent to this list with more details: http://archives.linmodems.org/6808 I"m not very comfortable changing source code and I don't know exactly where to start. Do you know if the above information is valuable? Thanks again! :) Charkes.
