Hello there,
I recently purchased an Actiontec pci modem and wanted to know if anyone
can help me in setting it up to work on my Linux box running on Redhat 6.0.
The manufacturer has given me a CD which is quite useless. The modem comes
without jumpers and is a 56K PCI Master PCI56012-02 which the manufacturer
claims is linux compatible.
I installed it and see under /proc/pci that it has been given IRQ 11.
Simple question is how do I find out the serial/com port so I can configure
it with setserial. I looked under /proc/ioports but cant find anything
sensible there.
Use lspci -vv and look for the port. If the board has exported some I/O
ports, one of the windows *might* correspond to the UART. If it
doesn't, the chances are very good it may be a winmodem.
Have you checked the "winmodems are not modems" web page to make sure
you have a real modem? The web page has one of the most comprehensive
databases of whether a modem is a real modem or not. You can find a
pointer to it off my serial driver page:
