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. On 3/18/07, Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Charles, RE: it's a PCMCIA card. OK, here is the forward route. 1) Run: $ ./scanModem test 11c1:0440 and the script will output an AgereDSP.txt file which you should read about the DSP chipset modems. The ModemData.txt will inform how to establish general compiling capability on your System, which you will need to do. 2) From http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ and get the most recent package martian-full-20061203.tar.gz Running the compilation will install a martian_dev.ko driver and /usr/sbin/martian_modem which has most of the COMM smarts. Read all the associated DOCs Do the compilation and install. 3) On the slight possibiity that this will alone suffice, reboot the System. Run $ dmesg | grep martian which will reveal whether the System was able to use the martian_dev driver and detect the modem during bootup diagnostics. The problem is that your laptop's PCMCIA bridge is of the "non-transparent" type and may not perceive the modem under Linux without additional direction 4) Fixes to this problem have sometimes been achieved by electronics enginner Joern for Lucent PCMCIA cards. Load the driver: $ su - root # modprobe martian_dev which should be successly even without a modem card present. Check with: # lsmod | grep martian Check if there is a report of port creation by: # martian_modem Most likely this will fail, and Joern's guidance will be needed. 5) Do # cat /proc/interrupts >> PCMCIA.txt # dmesg >> PCMCIA.txt and send us the PCMCIA.txt Joern will likely request additional info from you.
