[PLUG] Motorola SM56 modem not detected and depmod error

[Vinord Anand <vinord.anand@met.gov.fj>]

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 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 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

[root@localhost root]# modprobe sm56
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/char/sm56.o

I also get some depmod errors

[root@localhost scanModem]# cat /var/log/messages |grep sm56
Dec 21 19:06:20 localhost depmod:

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

SM56 setup complete.

I tried using fixscript from http://www.heby.de/ltmodem (don't know if
I need it)
 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

I have searching using google for almost 2 weeks, had subscribed to
close
to dozen mailing lists but still no progress.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Vinord
