bvc Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 from the other thread I edited/deleted post from Do not use insmod! Use modprobe. It'll insert any needed modules, because sometimes a module requires another module be inerted first, and insmod doesn't take care of that. But anyhow, this should be a separate thread, I think. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=7243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 The driver that we got could be compiled for a few different modems. We went through them and found the correct one. Now I'm sure we just need to ln -s /dev/modem to the appropriate file. We've tried, /dev/ttyS0-4. No go. I think there might be something created by the driver. Mayber a /dev/ptserial. Just a guess though. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mv Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 i no that modprobe loads pctel any way and it still doesnt work when i load them seperatly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Well, it's not clear what you have or have not done. What's in /etc/modules.conf for the modem? Did you install from a src.rpm, a tarball, a rpm? If a tar what did ./configure --help have to say. Is there a README or INSTALL file with any important info? Did you try to reverse the order of the mods with modprobe? We can't keep shooting in the dark. Did you look through the google link above and try anything there? Like the third link in the google; https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-list...t/msg02574.html # for pctel modem alias char-major-62 ptserial below ptserial pctel # country code for pctel modem options ptserial country_code=33 except change for your country code, depmod -a, and reboot. There's 9 more google pages, and you can always search within the results again to try and narrow it down further. https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-list...t/msg02574.html Make sure, you run "depmod -a" after you changed your /etc/modules.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mv Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 i have got the modem working now all i need to do is get a dial tone when i use wvdial it say there is no dial tone and i have checked everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 The most common way is with ATM0 (for off) ATL0 (for low) but if it doesn't work, check your modems manual. In wvdial, if you have and Init1= <string> Init2= <string> make an Init3=ATM0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
