Hi, I was wondering if anybody has managed to get the Lucent
linux568.zip driver working with MDK 7.1, kernel 2.2.15-4mdk? Worked
fine in MDK 6, 6.1, 7, but I can't get it going with 7.1.
Running the ltinst script (as root) gives:
insmod: ltmodem: no module by that name found
Though the script seems to put the module in
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc, and make the link to /dev/modem etc, just
doesn't load the module. Strangely, I don't get the usual error message
about 'kernal mismatch' when running the script. I do get '***unresolved
symbols in module' at boot when it checks for module dependencies.
But in dmesg I find:
PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling)
PPP line discipline registered.
Lucent Modem driver version 4.27.5.66 with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT
SHARE_IRQ enabled
ttyS14 at 0x1000 (irq = 11) is a Lucent
registered device ppp0
PPP BSD Compression module registered
PPP Deflate Compression module registered
Which seems to me to indicate it's detecting and loading it OK, but when
I try to use it, it dials OK, but then PPPD dies with the error message
'Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference'. Anybody know what
that means? Would I be better off going back to the MDK 7 kernel - and
if so, does anybody know what works in the new kernel that won't with
the old one (eg Reiser FS). I'd prefer not to go back to my 14.4
modem....
Thanks,
Tom Massey
