I am not trying to solve a technical issue by these posting..
Thanks, good to know.
I am trying to solve a SuSE structural issue of why was the technical issue was not solved during development.
Why after SuSE being notified with bug notifications in 9.2, 10.0 and alpha, and beta is there still issues with the same device in 10.1
Which technical issue about which modem. The bug id and the hwinfo output, please.
If this list list is the inappropriate location for airing such gross system failures send me the URL, address, or contact information Senior Vice president of the group in which the idiot that is responsible for this incompetence resides. It is hard to believe that something that worked 3, 5, 10 years back is now so unfunctional.
Before posting things like that, it might be much easier to post the hwinfo output. The answer might be as simple as "this modem needs Non-GPL modules to work and we provided them 3, 5, 10 years ago, but don't do so any more". Since you already mentioned that it's about an integrated modem of a Thinkpad laptop, I can tell you the following: 1. Very few Thinkpads have an integrated smartlink softmodem. The kernel module of this driver is not released under a GPL compliant license. 2. Most Thinkpads have an integrated modem with a Conexant chipset. Even worse than smartlink, this driver is not only closed source, it is not even gratis. You can purchase it for 20$ from Linuxant: http://www.linuxant.com Without hwinfo output this discussion becomes mostly philosophical because I can't tell you then which driver you need and why exactly it's not included. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
