You should try Mandriva 2006 because that has a 2.6.12 kernel stock,
and if you add Hawkwind's SoS repo you can even get a 2.6.14-2
kernel. That should help tons.

I upgraded to mandriva 2005 sle and my external modem
is not recognized at all. It works under windows
and on a machine that has ubuntu on.
I am wondering why mandriva cannot even detect it
as hardware. Knoppix does find it but cannot get
it to work.
Any suggestions welcome.

What are you dialing out with? If you are using kppp, then when you
configure a new modem there are two tabs. Under the tab labeled
device, you can tell kppp where to look for the modem. Is it set the
same as before the update. I have had little luck leaving it set on
dev/modem, and mine is set to dev/ttyS0. I have had distros see the
same modem at other places (ttyS1), so try others. To check if the
modem is found, then under the modem tab, click query modem. That
will tell if it is found.
If you are using something else based on wvdial, have you run
wvdial.conf? Fedora wouldn't see my external without that. I haven't
seen Man2006, so I don't know how it would work on my bow. HTH

Sorry, I didn't look up the info before replying. It is wvdialconf, not
wvdial.conf, which you run in a console as root. Is that confusing
enough, yet?
