Joshua, Please send to the List, not direct to me and do not have your modem type. I just add useful responses/URLs into scanModem. Hugo is most expert with this modem and Alan acquired the Suse code variant from LSI/Agere. 1) You might be able to change IRQs by moving the modem card to a different PCI slot, or by setting the IRQ in the BIOS if it supports that action. 2) It would be interesting to exchange the agrmodemlib.o between the two packages, and check functionality effects. 3) Since Hugo has function with agrsm package under a Ubuntu 2.6.22, you could try progressively upgrading your kernel to assess where the code breaks under Slackware. Thus you might be able to do a code fix needed for Slack kernels MarvS On Feb 1, 2008 1:52 AM, Joshua Gordon Crawford <jgcrawford@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 01/02/2008, Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Joshua, > > > > Your current Slackware installation will likely also boot with a 2.6.18 kernel > > Under it you can test from > > http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/sv92/ > > test suse-10-2a.tar.gz > > Its Agere code is actually more recent than that of the Agere package. > > But it doesn't compile (as yet) beyond 2.6.18 kernels. > > But if supports your modem, it can likely be worked up to recent kernels. > > > > Please test and report back. > > Thanks. > > I've installed kernel 2.6.18 and now the modem is detected and > connects at 52000 v42bis.
