> Warwick Hay: > video card, Conexant HCF V90 56k modem Those modems don't have an open source Linux driver AFAIK. Options are:
1) See what the installer recognises. 2) Ignore there's a modem in the computer. 3) Buy a new modem at DSE or tastech.co.nz which has a supported chipset, around $30. SuSE 9.1 has these driver packages: hsflinmodem Driver utilities for Conexant HSF softmodems km_hsflinmodem Source Code Package for the Conexant HSF Softmodem Driver km_smartlink-softmodem Package for Building the SmarLink Modules in k_deflt and k_athlon ltmodem Driver for modems with lucent chipsets smartlink-softmodem Smart Link Soft Modem for Linux This suggests some conexants may be supported. The safest is probably lucent. I can't find the intel 536ep driver - perhaps the driver is no longer shipped by SuSE (strange, but some manufacturers don't allow driver redistribution, doh), or there's an alternative, or the driver simply didn't work on 2.6 kernels at distro release date. Personally I have a strong dislike for hardware from suppliers which waste my time dealing with drivers for their crap, but that's digressing. I'm happy with whatever option Warwick chooses. As usual - we'll see what happens :) Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
