Dear Lugers,
We ( myself & Kedar ) having some problems while installing the Motorola sm56 internal modem on RHL7.2 Can somebody help us. The readme file along with the rpm which we have says that the rpm file can be used on RHL7.1 along with the kernel 2.4.x But we have RHL7.2 along with kernel 2.4.x Can anybody tell us how can we use the rpm on 7.2 If not where can we get the drivers for 7.2 & / or 7.3
Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :)
P.S. : Sometime back I read ( I think on mailing list only ) that Motorola stops developing the drivers for sm56 on linux. Is this true? In such case how can we get the drivers. Actually this is one of the reason why I'm not switching from 7.1 to 7.2 or 7.3 or any other distribution.

Hi,
I used to have this type of modem, never worked for me. It is best if you look at some of the previous posts in archives for details. As far as I know the Motorola drivers won't work with anything except 7.1's default kernel. You may want to check www.linmodems.org for any new developments for this chipset.
Best regards,
Rajesh

[snip] The driver README will specify the full kernel version the driver works with. even if you switch distros the driver will work as long as you use the same kernel. for eg. if the driver says it works with 2.4.12... it would do so even if you swap distros and keep the same kernel i.e.2.4.12 .
If the default kernel provided with the distro doesn't suit you... I guess you can go about compiling your own custom version.
It won't be difficult....Read the Kernel HOWTO. And the other relevant docs...If you think its difficult. ciao Abhijeet
