The sticker on the bottom says Latitude C510/C610, but in messing with this thing (not mine, bought used by its current clueless owner) I've also seen indications this might be a C640. It was given to me to "fix" the modem under W2K, when his original problem was a screwed up ISP with non-working phone numbers. He deleted files for inexplicable reasons only he understands in typical clueless fashion, causing the modem to be driverless. I tried for a while to figure out how to install a good driver, but without success, as it seemed the system was overwhelmed with junkware. So I decided to start clean by repartitioning dual boot. First I installed XP using a Dell OEM CD. That install went nicely, except if failed to find a modem driver. I tried the driver on the M$ updates site, but that didn't work. Then I used the Dell service tag number to find one, and it gave me a selection of different modem possibilities. I tried one or two of those without success, so proceeded to install 10.0 from the boxed DVD I bought. 10.0 install went nicely, and when done, the modem worked. So I tried again with XP, and managed to find a driver that does work. Then I decided he should have the latest SUSE, and did a clean HTTP install of 10.2. Now it has no modem under SUSE. :-( lspci says the following about it: 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [Generic]) Subsystem: PCTel Inc Dell Inspiron 2100 internal modem Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 5 I/O ports at d400 [disabled] [size=256] I/O ports at dc00 [disabled] [size=128] Why wasn't 10.2 smart enough to install a working modem driver? Is this a proprietary software thing, a driver included on the boxed 10.0 DVD, omitted from the free editions? Can this be easily fixed after adding the packman & guru sources? Anyone using one of these laptops who can provide a short course on getting the right driver installed? TIA -- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
