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

Your kernel and the kernel the proprietary closed source driver was compiled against are different. Maybe different enough to cause problems hooking the code to the newer kernel. In the first instance I would email Motorola with your OS details and kernel version and ask them nicely for a newer version.
