Hi All,
I am trying to get one of the two (!) Lucent chipset modems on my system
working.
I have a Xircom Realport PCMCIA LAN + Modem Combo card and also an
internal modem on the laptop.
I am running:
Mandriva 2008
Toshiba 4090XDVD
I have looked at the Martian packages listed on
linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ (and also
in other directories) but I cannot find an RPM for Mandriva. Does one exist?
Attached is my ModemData.txt file. Please advise if there is any help
for me!
Thanks,
Matt

If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.3 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.24.7-desktop586-1mnb resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.2 make kernel-source-2.6.24.7-desktop586-1mnb
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
