Modem Driver Help

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

 



Hello,

I would appreciate any help you could offer in obtaining drivers for my BCM
V92 .... I believe I have BCM4212 chipset as I've downloaded and run
scanModem and that's about as far as I'm comfortable with doing. Attached is
ModemData.txt ..... I sure would appreciate pointers to get the rest of the
process underway .... My OS is Ubuntu 7.04

Thanks Jim

 Do use the following as the email Subject Line:
           SomeName, YourCountry Ubuntu 7.04  kernel 2.6.20-15-generic 
 This will alert cogent experts, and  distinguish cases in the Archives.
 YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 02:08.0	14e4:4212	1028:0002	Modem: Broadcom Corporation BCM4212 v.90 56k modem 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:

 --- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 02:08.0 ----
[   32.019797] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:08.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  02:08.0
   Class 0703: 14e4:4212 Modem: Broadcom Corporation BCM4212 v.90 56k modem
      Primary PCI_id  14e4:4212
 Support type needed or chipset:	Broadcom
 Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.

 Vendor 14e4 is Broadcom http://www.broadcom.com/ , now focusing on broadband tools.
 14e4:4212 is the PCI id of a  BCM V.90 56k modem
 There is no support under 2.6.n kernels for the 14e4:4212 modems.

 There is a driver for 2.2.n kernels called  BCOM_WAN_V20.
    Search for it at http://www.dell.com 
 However the code has not been updated for some time.
 For  2.4 kernels, a fix by Giacomo Comes must be used. See :
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg01652.html
   http://cengique.2y.net/~cengiz/BCMSM/

 There are BCM Subsystems 14e4:4d64 serving under Intel ICH series softmodem controllers.
 which are supported.  Their AC97 codecs are BCM64 or SIL24.
 Kernels of version 2.6.6 or later are necessary.  See success reports:
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg02486.html
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03690.html
   http://oboc.ucdavis.edu/Marik/inspiron/ 
 The support is typically achieved through the snd-intel8x0m driver, plus slmodemd helper.

 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

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

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	 linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269224 2007-04-05 00:41 /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
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
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

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