MandrakeLinux 8.0 and the modem that is supposed to be
linux-compatible were both installed by the Tech Center at
CompUSA ... I'm not sure if the modem was completely
"configured" now that I've done some seeking.
For one thing in Harddrake, nearly all the components are
assigned a module, while the modem is not ... I press the
configure hardware button and it makes the false claim that it's
a winmodem.
I checked in the PCI device listing, and saw this about the
modem: Serial controller: U.S. Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem 5610
(rev 1), IRQ 5, 1/0 at 0xec00, bus 1, device 0, function 0.
It looks like the Ethernet controller that's been sitting in the
box for a year or so unused *is correctly configured though (too
bad I don't have a network hooked up, or a high speed
connection)!!
How would I go about correcting the problem, short of going back
to CompUSA?
