That's what is printed on top of the integrated circuit of the modem card. That's how I generally search for linux drivers for generic cards, but as you say lspci reports a PCTel Inc , so that's what I should search for. > PS > From out experience with slamr, the following would likely work in a > /etc/modprobe.d/pctel file > > ## # for pctel modem > # country code for pctel modem in USA > options pctel country_code=1 > > #Loads drivers and creates a device node > # the following should be on one line > install pctel_hw --ignore-install ungrab-winmodem ; --ignore-install > ptserial ; --ignore-install pctel_hw ; --ignore-install ptserial ; > test -e /dev/ttyS_PC || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/ttyS_PCTEL0 c 62 > 69>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/ttyS_PCTEL0 c 62) > # group dialout is used for Debian related distros I tried that, and failed with a bash error about "--", This is how I replaced the line, I think it is correct, at least it gives no error and load the modules: install pctel_hw /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ungrab-winmodem ; \ /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ptserial ; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pctel_hw ; \ /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ptserial ; test -e /dev/ttyS_PC || (/bin/mknod -m 660 \ /dev/ttyS_PCTEL0 c 62 69>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/ttyS_PCTEL0) but... > Then try finding the modem with: > $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf doesn't find any modem :( Is there anything else I can try, or more information to provide?
