hi everybody!
now that i'm on holiday i experience some problems in using my modem on a sony vaio laptop.
as far as i know its a ac97 modem and i used the "hcfpcimodem-0.99lnxtbeta03042700.tar.gz" from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/downloads.html

after some time i got things working with the hsfconfig utility but pppd call *** just gives me a "pppd: in file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option ' /dev/ttySHSF0'

so, /dev/ttySHSF0 doesnt exists - so i tried a mknod /dev/ttySHSF0 c ...
also doesn't work.

BTW, is there a driver for 2.5.74 too?
Any sugestions?
thx eule

eule,

Last time I used the hcfpcimodem drivers was at home with RH9.0. I didn't use the rpms as they weren't out yet so I used the tar.gz like you have. After a quick look at the README/INSTALL files I just did a make install.

It then loaded up all the drivers plus made a /dev/modem link which worked great.

Some things to check: Are the modules being loaded up for you? try /sbin/lsmod to see if they are. If not you'll have to make sure you can load them up and then add appropriate lines in /etc/modules.autoload.

Hope this helps.

thanks for your answer - but i did everything you said and it still doesn't work..
for now im not really sure if its a modem that this driver supports at all...
a dmesg shows some errors that this might be a lucent or a silicon laboratories...

i tried serveral drivers - but none of them worked...

hope someone has some hints...

thanks,
eule

eule,

You can tell what modem you have by looking in /proc/pci

If it is a lucent modem you can get the latest drivers here: http://www.heby.de/ltmodem I used these when setting up gentoo on my Dell Inspiron 8100 with built in modem.

Hope this helps,

vector

edit: these drivers get setup similar to the others

hi again...!

cat /proc/pci is not very useful - at least to me:

it tells:
Modem: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Mo (rev 2)
I/O at 0x2400 [0x24ff]
I/O at 0x2000 [0x207f]

the driver you used i allready tried - but i had no luck...
thx for your help!
ciao eule

Hi again eule!

I checked www.linmodems.org and for intel chips it sent me to the intel site:

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=977

Maybe one of these drivers will work. If not you might be outa luck with your particular modem. Or I'm of no help whatsoever
