You don't really have to downgrade your kernel... I'm on Slackware 9.1 using the 2.4.22 kernel. I'll give my assessment of the new driver RSN, so stay tuned. (Finally, no more binary kludging...) Besides, you might want to convert the rpm to a Slackware package before installing, instead of using rpm to install. man rpm2tgz for more info; personally, that keeps package management centrallized in one place (the Slackware package list @ /var/adm/packages/) > here is a snapshopt of dmesg: > > 1 Motorola Softmodem: version SM56 Rel. 6.05 Build 02 > 2 SM56: SS_DisplayFatalErr - 0x8103 > > line 2 occured when i tried to initialize the modem in minicom. i have > no idea what it means. has anyone tested it on a redhat 8.0/9 machine? > I'll be testing it on my machine soon.
