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.
According to the directtions from US Robotics, if my kernel is version 2.3 or higher, it would recognize the modem. However, according to the command, 'uname -a', my linux version is 2.2.18.
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 Once you have it working, put the command in your /etc/rc.d/boot.local *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S.
