I have successfully installed HP56 Micromodem (Win-modem) in knoppix version of Debian. But I need some clarification.
The two files 'pctel.o' and 'ptserial.o' are to be detected at startup, and are recommended to be added to the /etc/modules.conf file. Since Debian does not allow direct modification of /etc/modules.conf, and 'man update-modules' is not very clear in which file these two will go, I took a chance and added 'pctel' and 'ptserial' at the end of /etc/modules. They are being detected and loaded at startup and I am able to use the modem. I would like to know whether I have done the right thing. How exactly should 'update-modules' be used (say, in the present case) ? Earlier, I had tried - 'modprobe pctel' 'modprobe ptserial' 'update-modules' 'depmod -a' This worked till I rebooted. Could someone please clarify ?
