Hi, I've got a laptop with an internal winmodem which lspci displays as : 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. Intel 537 [82801BA/BAM AC'97 Modem] (rev 05)
I've successfully compiled the pctel-drivers, and the modem is working fine. In order to load the modules automatically, I have the following in /etc/modutils/modem : alias char-major-62 ptserial below ptserial pctel # country code for pctel modem options ptserial country_code=2 The problem is that at boot time the modules are always loaded. This has 2 consequences : - I have to restart my alsa daemon manually afterwards or else I won't get any sound - my kernel is tainted (the modules use non-gpled binaries) The only solution I've found so far is to comment out my /etc/modutils/modem, and to load the modules by hand. I think there must be something which probes /dev/modem or all the /dev/tttyS??, thus loading the pctel modules, but I've been unable to find it. Does anyone see what could cause the loading ? Thanks a lot for your help, -- Boris
