RE: [expert] Upgrade to 7.1 breaks my PCI modem.
Ok, but should Mandrake be able to autodetect a PCI modem? As I said, I have never encountered a linux distribution that was able to autodetect it. It shows up fine if I do an 'lspci'.

RE: [expert] Upgrade to 7.1 breaks my PCI modem.
I have not tried that, but am skeptical. Mandrake 7.1 (or any other distribution I have used) has never been able to autodetect it. I don't believe that Mandrake 7.1 has any PCI/PNP capabilities; I think it is PNP/ISA only. Am I incorrect here? --- "Jose M.

[expert] Upgrade to 7.1 breaks my PCI modem.
Hi - I've got a USR internal PCI modem (the flavor that has all the necessary UART hardware). I've always configured it from rc.local with the following: setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0x2070 irq 11 uart 16550A Odd selection of port and irq, but that is what windows chose, and my linux box has been happy with it through RH6.0, RH6.1, and Mandrake 7.0. But now it is failing me and I'm at a loss - I can't talk to it at all under Mandrake 7.1. Have there been some subtle changes to setserial or the kernel that is breaking this? Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Puzzled in California. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos -- now, 100 FREE prints! http://photos.yahoo.com
