Thanks for answering.

I have asked the vendor to supply the source - he won't -, and to compile a version for my kernel, and he says he'll take the request under consideration. The modem is a Draytek miniVigor 128, sold in France as Djinn Numéris USB. The French name is what shows up in proc/bus/usb/devices (but with driver=(none) next to it), and that's where I got the vendor and product IDs. The maker, Draytek, has drivers specifically compiled for kernel 2.2.16 and 2.4.0, and when I insmod the module, I get the following message: Warning: kernel-module version mismatch /lib/modules/draytek/m128 was compiled for kernel version 2.4.0 while this kernel is version 2.4.3-20mdksmp > 2. Why are you trying to force the vendor and product IDs? Since the modem's internal info has a specific vendor name. The local distributor, by the way, says that this modem won't run under Linux, but I know for a fact that it's been done. I just can't get anybody here to tell me how. The French reseller doesn't develop any drivers, they rely on Draytek. >Why are you using > insmod at all? That's how the module normally loads. When the module is installed from the rpm, it creates a call to insmod -f /lib/modules/draytek/m128 during initialization. > Unless you have a specific developmental reason, you should > just be able to modprobe the support you need. I'm sorry, but I need a little help there. *Where do I look in the modprobe man?* > Specifing IDs is probably not supported on the driver. Arguments to > MODULE_PARM() functions are not general.

I was unable to get any output from modinfo. I do have the output from insmod -m. I'll attach that if you want to take a look. Thanks very much and let me know where I might get further help. I've already been to several newsgroups with this. Thanks very much Joe |
