Greetings
I have a LG smartlink modem running an AMD 64, Does anyone know why it won't work? I get " slamr taints kernel" error messages,
I think this is *not* an error message. Just some kernel developers complaining that the slamr module is not GPL, or something similar. Despite this message it should work.
even if I compile the driver manually, I have tried with the suse default packages on disk five with no joy, I have also downloaded older and newer drivers from linmodem.technion.org and all return the same results.
Again, if you *think* it does not work because of the "tainiting" messages, then try again. Just ignore the message, and see if it works.
Could some-one please help me here?
You need to give more details. What modem - internal, PCMCIA, USB? And do you run SuSE in 64 bit or in 32 bit. if 64 bit, are you sure the code is for 64 bit, and does not contain binary 32 bit parts? Did you check /var/log/messages for any hints (despite the tainting nonsense)? Check /var/log/messages if it gives you a device somewhere, such as /dev/modem, or /dev/ttySL0, or similar. And then see if that works, use it in kppp or kinternet, or minicom.
Preferably some who has it working :)
Thanks
