Maintainer Robert,
Would you comment on pctel port issues.
Arturo,
Glad you solved the compile problem.
RE: the /dev/modem issue, the is within the Pctel.txt output by scanModem:
**********
During PCtel code installations, the node made is character device
/dev/ttyS_PCTEL0 c 62 69
Check with:
ls -l /dev/ttyS_PCTEL0
There is a pre-compiled binary component in the Pctel code which was
assembled with a gcc 2.95 compiler
A consequence is the loading fails under kernels compiled with gcc 3.n ,
unless forcing (-f) is used:
# insmod -f pctel
# insmod ptserial
This can be automated by adding the following lines to /etc/modules.conf,
OR for 2.6.n kernels instead use /etc/modprobe.conf :
####### for pctel modem ######
alias char-major-62 pctel
alias /dev/modem ptserial
install pctel /sbin/insmod "-f" "pctel"
post-install pctel /sbin/insmod ptserial
# country code for pctel modem, for USA
options ptserial country_code=1
######## pctel end ####
then run:
# depmod -a
to inform the System and thereafter
# modprobe ptserial
will load all three drivers,
