Hi Cluggers. I have rejoined the list for a while 'cause I am having a problem with setting up my modem for the 2.6.7 kernel.
Running Simple Mepis (Debian stable/unstable) on a PIII 800. Modem is an Actiontec hardware PCI56K type (same as your one Yuri). It works fine on the 2.4.24 (I think - but not too important) kernel when I run the following commands (got them down pat now :)) cd /dev MKDEV ttyS4 ln -s ttyS4 modem chmod 666 ttyS4 chmod 666 modem setserial modem autoconfig But when I try that in the 2.6 kernel, it fails with the error mentioning incorrect parameter for setserial. I havn't been able to find anything about it on google or elsewhere, any ideas about this most welcome. Does setserial run differently in 2.6 or am I doing something wrong? Alternatively, can anyone suggest a good modem setup tool for Debian. Xandros must have one as it autodetects the modem and sets it up correctly (with the 2.4 kernel though) - but I don't know what it is as it is called by the 1st run wizard. I have used other tools such as modemedit and modemtool in RPM distros (Lycoris and ELX for example) and they worked well. I think I may have used kudzu on another box successfully as well, but it won't run on this box (seg faults). Thanks in advance for any feedback. Lance Blackler
