It's a Lucent/Agere winmodem, I don't know on the driver as SuSE did
such an easy install I didn't bother to look.... Is there somewhere I
can look to get this?
Yes there was a kernel upgrade, the only warning I saw on it was to run
lilo before rebooting, but I am using grub - the default - so didn't bother.
what are/were the previous and current kernel versions.
current: 2.6.5-7.111, the original should have been 2.6.4 but I can't
find any trace of it on my system in /boot
and check that the new one IS in fact running with uname -r
yup, definitely running
thanks.
thanks Nick

Hi All,
I am running SUSE 9.1 and until yesterday my winmodem was working
fine,.overnight I ran YaST which failed part way through due to a
dropped connection. I then installed the packages that it had
downloaded, planning to pick up the rest tonight/tomorrow etc. Great,
except that I can no longer dial out.
My findings are -
- KInternet will no longer dial and but does not throw any
errors and I have looked at tail -f /var/local/messages without seeing
anything that looked like an error.
- kppp says it cannot open the modem but gives no hint as to why
- I removed the modem using YaST and added it again with no
effect. I removed it with YaST, rebooted and added it again, also with
no effect
- the modem is still working fine under windows
I have tried to google for an answer but am probably asking the wrong
question as I have also tried
chmod o+rx /dev/ttyLT0 without effect
The only other error I have is that "/etc/resolv.conf does not exist"
but I don't know if this is relevant!
Any hints, pointers of where to look or outright solutions gratefully
received,
many thanks,
Andy
