Hey, Yes you can use sm56 with RH7.2 or later. The process could be stated as roll back of core components such as kernel and related or dependents.
I have successfully done this many times but I do not have it as a script or documented anyplace with me, you might have to spend lot of time doing it yourself. So here we go , you need your RH7.1 or any clone such as PCQ 7.1, Install RH 7.2, or upgrade to 7.2 from 7.1 base. Next install the kernel package from 7.1 example command is "rpm -ih --oldpackage kernel.rpm" . In various situations flag --replacepkg or --replacefiles can be a great help. There will lot of packages which may not work right to please spend some time in forcefully de-grading them, read the man page of RPM, that will help alot. In the end I am sure you'll be too happy for what you make out of it all. Also if you care for good hardware support of your modem, kindly advocate/request a good support from the vendor, that will help in future. And guys this might mean war, but PCQ 7.1 sucks to me, its no magic, but thanks to them for saving so much of bandwidth all over country by supplying PCQ 7.1 which is just a tweaked 'anaconda' and all RH7.1. If you get it done and document the whole process and create a script can be a great help to spoonfeed the mushrooming userbase of linux with lot of sm56 modems. :) Cheers, Kevin Verma < Sys Admin > On Thursday 13 June 2002 07:45 am, you wrote: > Hi, > > I am not able to configure Motorola sm56 PCI spearphone > modem on my RH Linux 7.2.
