Lucent win modem
-
21-08-2001 6:18pmI got a lucent internal 56k winmodem and I've looked up the chipset and as far as I know it is compatible with linux. I'll reply back with the chip code later. I got the drivers from linmodems.org and they compiled without error. But minicom can't find the device. I'll reply with more info later
any ideas appreciated.0

1. Which version of the drivers are you using? The version I use are 6.00a1, so make sure it's at least that anyway.
2. Next, have you compiled it from source? Do not try and build the RPM which can be dodgy (i.e., don't do ./build_rpm), but just do the ./build_module option. Also, you know that if you upgrade or change your kernel you will have to rebuild and reinstall.
3. The installation command (./ltinst or ./ltinst2 in the 6.00a1 driver) creates the device /dev/ttyLT0 and links /dev/modem against it. The version compiled is a file called something like lt_modem.o or something. After the compilation, the ./ltinst2 and ./autoload will install it into /lib/modules/kernel-version-number/ for use.
Effectively, you can use the /dev/modem for any comms application after this. Try *not* use the real device as it may change with different drivers (it used to be LT14 or so). ls -la /dev/modem to ensure that /dev/modem is softlink to the LT device the driver installation creates, and use /dev/modem as the device in minicom. Read the output of all scripts, and note if there is any ANY error. If /dev/modem points to something other than /dev/ttyLT0, change it.
Use ]# minicom -s to setup the dialling device as /dev/modem.
Also, don't forget to do ./autoload after the ./ltinst2 to allow dynamic loading and unloading of the driver module whenever it is needed. This is different to older driver versions which had a single ./ltinst command to install the module.
Any more probs, maybe provide some info as kernel version, etc., . I have no probs at all with kernel 2.4.9, and using minicom and Kppp as dialers.
Is this the first time you have tried to us e winmodem or any modem in linux?

I think the version is 5.99. yes I got them as source and jus did a './build_module' or whatever the command is. The kernel I'm using now is 2.4.9. I must try minicom with /dev/modem instead of /dev/ttyLT0. It has made that device and linked it to /dev/modem. I must check that also with the 'ls -la' command later. Does it try and load modules into the kernel? (lt_modem.o and lt_serial.o)? cos they are not loaded even tho the installation went grand.
I'll try all that anyway.
It's my first time trying to get a win-modem working altho I've setup an external one before, not that there is much setting up
Ok minicom says it can't open /dev/modem .. 'no such device'. '/dev/modem' has '/dev/ttyLT0' linked to it.

Damn that's strange then. The modules are loaded in and out of the running kernel as needed - that's what modules do.
If it's any solution.....are you using the latest version of minicom and can you dial or even get something like KPPP to detect the modem?
I remember I used to have trouble with ppp-on and those scripts with a winmodem on 5.68 drivers but no trouble with simple detection.
This is the ls -la result for me:
crw-r
1 redmoose tty 62, 64 Aug 22 03:49 /dev/ttyLT0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 18 17:03 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyLT0
Is there any chance you didn't compile something like serial port & PPP usage in the kernel or anything? (PPP support for async serial ports as well).
Could you post up the result of dmesg here - it might be a help. I am going to be annoying here but here's my result to compare it to. You'll see the serial port settings and the LT modem bit down the end.

Yes it is quite possibe that I could have left some stuff out while configuring the kernel. One thing I notice I did leave out, you mentioned serial port things and I re-compiled today and recompiled the drivers but still no luck in getting the modem working.

Anything missing?

Yup, the Lucent winmodem part
. Look at the last four lines in my listing, and you have zero mention of it. Therefore it's possible to conclude that whatever it is you are doing for the installation is just not working.
Have you seen if the module is in /lib/modules/2.4.9/ at all? You could also try seeing if it is being called at boot from the initscripts (I don't know how Debian works regarding this).
Download the latest version (can't do any harm).
What do you do to install it? After the ./build_module what do you do then? Also, I suspect your kernel configuration is not accurate as you don't have SCSI emulation running yet you have a CDRW attached........
Get the latest version 6.00 drivers and tell me what happens after the ./build_module, ./ltinst2 and ./autoload.
That is exactly all I did to get it working for me. This is bloody odd, but obviously the driver is not being installed at all for you.
Tell me did you make sure to do a make modules and make modules_install after the kernel compilation? And after that making the modem module driver and then installation that and rebooting?
Also, are you using the latest modutils?
Also, only one serial port is listed for you - is this correct and has any been inadvertently been disabled in the BIOS?
