I have a modem on 11.2 (I've been trying to use 11.4 for the last
several months but need the modem to work):
03:06.0 Communication controller [0780]: Agere Systems Venus Modem (V90,
56KFlex) [11c1:0480]
Subsystem: Actiontec Electronics Inc Device [1668:0500]
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21
Memory at febffc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
I/O ports at e800 [size=256]
I/O ports at e400 [size=256]
I/O ports at ec00 [size=8]
Capabilities: [f8] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: serial
which works on /dev/ttyS4 in 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, but no longer works in
11.4 nor factory.
Neither wvdial nor wvdialconf ran as root can find the modem at /dev/ttyS4:
wvdialconf:
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

ttyS4<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S5 S6 S7
When I used the program, minicom, on ttyS4 in 11.4, it could use the
modem, dial, and actually connected. But neither wvdial nor wvdialconf
could find it.
I tried a different modem:
03:06.0 Modem [0703]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4212 v.90 56k modem
[14e4:4212] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [Generic])
Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0001]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 21
Memory at febff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
I/O ports at ec00 [size=16]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: serial
with no luck on 11.2 nor 11.4 of Opensuse nor with minicom, but it
appears that may be a different issue with Broadcom modems.
I've asked in the forums and after trying several things, it was
suggested I ask here to see if the next release could support it if I'm
not overlooking something.
