   Hello, guys!

   I'm having a little problem with my modem. I have a Motorola SM56 and it 
seems that the program ScanModen says to me that there is no driver for it 
compatible with my linux distribution, Fedora Core 6.

   Is it true?

   What the best thing I should do? To "downgrade" to Fedora Core 3? Change 
to other distro like Red Hat 9?

   Thanks a lot!

   Cheers,

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  01:03.0

 Support type needed or chipset:	Motorola
 


 Vendor=1057 is Motorola with some service provided through 
 vendor=11d4 Analog Devices Inc. Drivers are available for VERY FEW 2.4.n kernels 
   http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/driver.htm
 and for 2.6.n only a Fedora 2.6.9-1.667 at
   http://www.linux-xp-brasil.com.br/sm56-06.09.05-1-fc3-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm
 A driver is NOT available for this kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.

 Motorola seems to be only providing source code to some equipment mnaufacturers,
 who may provide particular compiled Linux drivers with their products.
 See details in Motorola.txt

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

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

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	 kernel-source-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options

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