Rob, 1) Do not have martian_dev loaded at the same time asltmodem + ltserial as they would compete for the same hardware.But otherwise there is nothing wrong with having alternative driverspresent as unloaded modules. 2) Would do no harm to retest using martian_modem againNote that martian_modem is not a driver, requiring matching with aparticular kernel, i.e. a single martian_modem will work with multiplekernel versions MarvS On 10/8/07, Rob Glazebrook <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:> Hi,> After 1 try with the package alk-9, I just noticed that with a fresh OS> install with lsmod it includes martian_dev - would that conflict or be> useful?> (If in the install I select Lucent Winmodem as dial-up option it gives> me a message ltmodem_kernel not installed.
