HI,

I am trying to set up modem to access Internet. I have dual boot system with Win98 and Reh Het 7.3 (2.4.18-3) modem works OK when connecting to Internet using Win98 dial up networking tools.

This is my modem details Its SM56 PCI I Motorola Speakephone modem.

[root@localhost scanModem]# lspci |grep SM56 PCI 00:09.0 Communication controller: Analog Devices SM56 PCI modem Subsystem: Analog Devices SM56 PCI modem Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5 Memory at e7000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

[root@localhost floppy]# cat /proc/pci|grep SM56 PCI Bus 0, device 9, function 0: Communication controller: PCI device 11d4:1805 (Analog Devices) (rev 0). IRQ 5. Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=1.Max Lat=255. Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe7000000 [0xe70000ff].

I have a problem in that wvdial can't detect my modem. When use Red Hat 7.3 PPP dialer (Internet Configuration Wizard) Modem probing says no modem was found on your system

[root@localhost scanModem]# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial1.conf Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- nothing. ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- nothing. Port Scan<*1>: S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 S8 S9 ..............................

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial?

I already have driver for my Motorola PCI SM56 Speakerphone (data/fax/voice) modem.I got driver files for Windows from same site http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/SM56_DRIVERS.html

I am using driver package http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/SM56_5.1_I386.rpm

[root@localhost root]# rpm -Uvh SM56_5.1_I386.rpm [root@localhost root]# sm56setup 679 Motorola SM56 SoftModem Setup for Linux

SM56 setup complete

[root@localhost root]# ls -ltr /dev/* |grep sm56 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 24, 0 Dec 19 16:52 /dev/sm56 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 19 16:52 /dev/modem -> /dev/sm56

[root@localhost root]# modprobe sm56 Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/char/sm56.o will taint the kernel: no license Segmentation fault

I also get some depmod errors

[root@localhost scanModem]# cat /var/log/messages |grep sm56 Dec 21 19:06:20 localhost depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/char/sm56.o Dec 21 19:06:20 localhost rc.sysinit: Finding module dependencies:failed Dec 21 19:07:11 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81

Today I tried new driver package from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/Motorola.html but also gave some unresolved symbols

[root@localhost root]# rpm -Uvh sm56-85.1-10.i386.rpm [root@localhost root]# sm56setup 679

SM56 setup complete.

I tried using fixscript from http://www.heby.de/ltmodem (don't know if I need it since modem is not LT) but coudn't get it to run.

Do I also need an updated serial driver!!

This is what dmesg shows............. Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

no trace of ppp support or pppd daemon on my system. I thought ppp support was provided by default by RH7.3 kernel However after have tried to manually load sm56 [root@localhost root]# modprobe sm56

$lsmod and $cat /proc/modules always have sm56 1557324 (initializing)

Never stops initializing!

My /etc/wvdial.conf looks like this

[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyS1 Baud = 57600 SetVolume = 4 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ Init2 = AT&F&D2&C1V1S0=0E0 Init3 = ATS7=60\T0M1\N7%C1\Q3*LS1X4 Phone = 144000 Password = hidden Username = hidden FlowControl = XONXOFF

[Dialer connect] Phone = 144000 Password = hidden Username = hidden Stupid Mode = 0

I tried other ports as well...... /dev/sm56 as one artical on web by Marvin Stodolsky suggests amd /dev/modem.Windows detected modem on COMM3 which would be /dev/ttyS2 in Linux but I haven't tried this yet. But there is this article which says it should't matter which internal port is being used by Windows for modem.

I have been searching using google for almost 2 weeks, had subscribed to close to dozen mailing lists, sent close to dozen mails but still no progress. I have researched problem well (ref. e-mail addreses I know of people who had posted to some mailing lists regarding this problem) .

I haven't considered option to throw away my modem yet! Any help would be very much appreciated.
