Check out > http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/G.Wilford/Inspiron8500/ . The Support folks are unavailable until Monday, all the Sales folks could offer was Broadcom. I poked around a bit more and it turns out it is a 3COM 3c501. > the Red Hat based "Krud Linux" (http://www.tummy.com/krud). $11. > -- William Hooper This looks promising -- given that I am lucky to get 28k here in the woods (no cable or dsl available). I have not found a good/simple way to be sure I get the right stuff by trying a download and CD burn at work. Too many variable to sort out. Modem is not recognized, appears to be an Intel 82801DB AC'97 (winmodem) 56k V.90/V.92 Data/Fax. I think the Modem is the same as this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pctelcompdb.sourceforge.net/viewdetails.php?id_no=159 Manufacturer:PCTel Model:Dell Inspiron 5100 (Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem) Chipset:Intel 845 Status:Working Distributions tested:SuSE 8.2 Professional Kernel versions:2.4.20 Driver versions:pctel-0.9.6Output of lspci -v: 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [Generic]) Subsystem: PCTel Inc: Unknown device 4c21 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 I/O ports at 1800 [size=256] I/O ports at 1c00 [size=128] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Output of lspci -n: 00:1f.6 Class 0703: 8086:24c6 (rev 02) Owner:Dave Corrie Notes: This was a little tricky to get working. I configured --with-hal=i8xx and changed the PCI_DEVICE_ID_I845 define to 0x24c6 in src/ptserial/ptserial-2.4.7.c, as described in database entry #155. Because SuSE 8.2 ships with gcc3 it was necessary to remove the -Werror flag from src/ptserial/Makefile and pass the -f flag to insmod when loading the modules. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't really understand all of his notes and how they might translate to the shipped (no updates) version of RedHat 9. Any guidance on any of this, please? Thanks! dmc -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
