Hi all
I have a SM56 Motorola modem and I can't make it work at
Mandrake 10.1 official,
I have downloaded the driver of mandrake 10 from http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/driver.htm
And done the following commands
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# insmod sm56
insmod: can't read 'sm56': No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# modprobe sm56
FATAL: Error inserting sm56 (/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/kernel/drivers/char/sm56.ko): Invalid module format
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ls -l sm56
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 24, 0 Feb 8 16:26 sm56
but i can't find '/dev/sm56' in devices list at KPPP also when trying to use '/dev/ttys3' it tells me that modem is busy
thanks all
The module should be noted in /etc/modules.conf, have a look and see if the entry:
options sm56 country=44
exists, you need to change 44 to whatever your country code is.
Does 'lsmod' (as root) show it has loaded? If not, try:
% depmod -a % modprobe sm56
From the docs, I see the device should be loaded as /dev/modem which should be linked to /dev/sm56. So in kppp use /dev/modem.
depmod -a
-- Thanks,
David
