I just installed an internal PCI US Robotics 56K Performance Pro in my computer replacing the HFS56 Micro Modem. Windows 98 and SuSE resides on the same hard drive. According to Windows 98, the modem is on Communication Port 5 (five). SuSE Linus can not access it.
The older kernel only recognizes com 1-4, and this modem insists on being on com 5. But you do not necessarily have to upgrade your kernel just to be able to use this modem.
You can make this modem work without upgrading the kernel. Find out the port and IRQ with lspci -v. Then give a command similar to the following (replace my values with yours):
setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550a port 0xb800 irq3
From the root directory and after typing in:
setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16500a port d000 irq9 received the following error message: Invalid flag: irq9 Now what? Thanks for anybody help. Ken Green
