hello' people, I'm a new user of linux os, actualli I use mandriva 2007, installed on a IBM t20 laptop. I/ll not be able to connect to the internet because the software not recognize the modem. Could you help me? My country is ITALY. Thank you in advance. Attached you can find the ModemData.txt. Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.

Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at: http://phep2.technion.ac. il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ See AgereDSP.txt for Details. DSP=1 Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc. Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and its continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer, or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced: with varying support under Linux.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev /dev/.udevdb 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-2.6.17- 5mdv If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example. Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
