Hi everyone, I installed Suse 8.2 on my AMD Duron machine and it works like a charm except.. you guessed it. I have a Lucent modem. The chipset is Agere SV92p.I tried installing the driver that I found on www.heby.de but it didn't work. I have gotten the modem to work with Mandrake, so I'm thinking there is a way to get it working in Suse too. I'm a relative newbie to Linux so I was wondering if anyone has simple instructions for me to get this modem working on my machine. Thanks. <snip>
This is not helpful but instead of configuring Winmodems a visit to the a local secondhand computer store to purchase an "old" hardware modem is highly recommended.
Mind, on the new Toshiba laptop, there are no serial modems :(
Just my 2p worth........
LW999 My Creatix modem was not recognised by SuSE 8.1. The Creatix websire does have drivers, but for Linux it referred to Intel, the manufacturer of the chipset. I installed the Intel driver for Linux using the Intel instructions, and it works like a charm. It even outperfomed the Creatix driver on WindowsXP. I have now a new driver installed for WinXP so it is now on par with Linux.
Does Lucent has a driver for you? Or perhaps Agere?

Hi, I got my drivers for Suse 8.2 :ltmodem-kv_2.4.20-4GB-8.26a9-1.i386.rpm at the ltmodem site and eventually managed to install them at /lib/modules.Running uname -r gave me 2.4.20-4GB -athlon so when I tried to install the rpm I found I was in conflict because of the different kernels.I ignored the warnings (possibily stupid move) and installed,being using the Lucent pci modem for three weeks now and no problems. 1. Find out where your modem is (su in terminal) with cat /proc/pci. .Mines looks like this: Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics F-1156IV WinModem (V90, 56KFlex) (rev 1). IRQ 11. Master Capable. No bursts. Min Gnt=252.Max Lat=14. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xcefebf00 [0xcefebfff]. I/O at 0xd400 [0xd407]. I/O at 0xd000 [0xd0ff]. . 2. Run setserial: setserial /dev/ttyLTO uart 16550a port 0x400 irq 11 (substitute your port and irq values.) 3. Create soft link: ln -s /dev/ttyLTO /dev/modem I load the lt_modem and lt_serial modules by hand,because of the conflict of the different kernels(maybe you won't have this problem).The full path (for me) is: insmod -f /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/ltmodem/lt_modem.o and lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/ltmodem/lt_serial.o (yours might be different).Check with lsmod to see if lt_modem and lt_serial have been loaded. You might have to reconfigure your connection settings and select /dev/modem.If you have set wvdial up you could use that as well. Hope this helps. Lachlan
