A special thanks to all the people involved in the Linmodems project for helping to make Linux more viable than that other OS! If anyone can help with this, it would really be appreciated: Using martian-full-20080625, CONNECT 31200 V44 is the best I can get. (kernel 2.6.22.12 Mandriva 2008, 2.6.27.5 or 2.6.28 Mandriva 2009) Previous martian version 20071011, on Mandriva 2006, 2007 and 2008 typically connects at CONNECT 50,666 V44. (all kernels up to 2.6.22.12) CONNECT 50,666 on Mandriva 2009 seems possible ONLY using old martian 20071011 driver, and old kernel 2.6.22.12 (from Mandriva 2008), grafted into Mandriva 2009. Obviously I don't *want* to use 2.6.22.12 in Mandriva 2009, as it causes other problems, but as I only have dial-up connection and work online lots (I run xanjax.org project) I really need a decent connect speed. What I would really like to do for now (if it's possible) is patch kernel 2.6.28 so it's possible to use the old version of martian drivers with it. Does anyone know what changed, and at what kernel version, so that the new version of martian drivers was needed? Developers: Alexei or other martian developers, I live so close to the exchange that my connection speed is always reliable, making it very obvious if the driver is working correctly or not. I am very willing to help test any changes you make - please just email me. Hopefully you have a handle on the problem and will have a fix soon. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion: I'm guessing that the new kernel IO handler for userspace defaults to asynch which would add the equivalent of line noise to the signal (due to aliasing) and I have a hunch that using synch instead might solve this issue. Jacques and anyone else: If you need working binaries for any of the combinations mentioned above please email me. It would be best if these were made available to everyone on the linmodems site. Finally, if anyone knows how to get a successful *make all* on martian 20071011 driver with gcc 4.2 or later, please do tell. I'm still using the userspace binary from some early compilation because I can only compile the kernel modules since gcc 4.2 (errors asm/page.h missing, page_size and page_shift undeclared when trying to compile userspace binary)
