Early versions of the iBook2 have an internal hardware

From comp.os.linux.powerpc - I had lots of trouble
myself on a mandrake distribution (see earlier
thread/s). If you try the KDE internet dialer, set the
pre-int delay to 126, and the post init to around 100.
It should pick it up then.

There is no way to guess these numbers, if you don't
know them, you're screwed. The search for modems
function included with the various dialers will not
find the internal modem.
It would be nice if those numbers could be set
properly by default so that the modem will show up.
Why? Because a big obstacle to setting up Linux is
getting internet access going. (Can't get online, then
you can't search how-to's, usenet, google, etc.) If we
can help people get online, that goes a long way.
If it can't be done dynamically, well, at least folks
know if anyone else is trying to get things going on
iBook.

I thought that looked like something I wrote in a NG :-), yes I had to mess
around quite a lot and also had to do the same with 8.2beta2.
The latest beta is a lot beta, but the login dialog screen is still messed
up. I've still got testing to do but will post info on how my ibook is
running over the next few days.
