It would seem I have either already done the hard part, or it has been done
for me. But I'm sort of stumped. I'm trying to use a PCTel winmodem in my
system, and it works but I just can't get it to work without loading one of
the drives from command line.
Using Lycoris (the build just before they got rid of the Redmond Linux logos)
which I found already had the drivers. For my modem, they are pctel_789.o and
ptserial_pct789.o. It doesn't autodetect the modem, so I had to create
the node in /dev for it, and link /dev/modem to that node. And "insmod
pctel_pct789" then "insmod ptserial_pct789" lets me dial the modem.
Then, since this is Caldera-based, I added the driver names to
/etc/modules/default. The system reported loading them, but it didn't work.
Here are the relevant parts of the output of lsmod:
ptserial_pct789 48464 0
pctel_cm8738 547472 0 [ptserial_pct789]
isa-pnp 27440 0 [serial ptserial_pct789]
pctel_pct789 705984 0 [ptserial_pct789 pctel_cm8738]
As I said, it works if I load the drivers from command line. Again, relevant
lines from lsmod output:
ptserial_pct789 48448 0 (unused)
pctel_pct789 705984 0 [ptserial_pct789]
isa-pnp 27440 0 (autoclean) [ptserial_pct789 serial]
But it also works if I load pctel_pct789.o in /etc/modules/default, and
ptserial_pct789.o at command line. Lsmod shows the same results, but a
different order:
ptserial_pct789 48448 0 (unused)
isa-pnp 27440 0 (autoclean) [ptserial_pct789 serial]
pctel_pct789 705984 0 [ptserial_pct789]
Can anyone suggest a solution?
