Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mwavem
I have problems with the ACP Modem (mwave) in an old ThinkPad 600E. I don't know if this is a problem with my specific hardware setup or if it really is a bug in the mwavem package itself, so I'm reporting it here just to let the maintainers know. The mwave module loads fine. The mwavem daemon (2.0-2) starts successfully, too. However, I am unable to make any calls to an internet provider. Every time the modem tries to dial a number, the mwavem process crashes. On the other hand, the modem replies to simple commands like ATZ or ATI3, so the general (serial) setup seems to be ok. When I start mwavem manually (not using /etc/init.d/mwavem) to better see the error messages, all looks well: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/sbin/mwavem /etc/mwavem/mwavem.conf Initializing mwave manager... Initializing modem specific code... Got configured startup speed: 64000... Checking configured speed... Setting modem speed... Loading modem DSP... mwave modem, STARTED... In another terminal, I can now use minicom to successfully talk to the modem... Welcome to minicom 2.2 OPTIONS: I18n Compiled on Mar 7 2007, 15:10:03.

Things I tried so far: - checked for hardware conflicts using the bios configuration utility ps2.exe - tried a non-default hardware (irq etc.) setup for serial-a and modem (IR port is disabled) - excluded irq 3 and 10 in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, so the pcmcia handler does not touch them - disabled all sound related modules - compiled and tried my own "ACP Modem (Mwave) Driver for Linux" (mwavem-2.0.tar.gz) from Sourgeforge without luck. I'm running the latest firmware available (INET36WW = 1.16, 11/20/99) and feisty (7.04). My boot options include "acpi=off pci=noacpi pnpbios=off vga=0x317".
