Peace,

I have contacted them, and they said it works fine!!!! But I have noticed that EGYPT is not listed in the list given when you initiate the command $ man sm56 How may I know this? And, could any one here make use of this driver given by motorolla for RH 9.0?

ok

so they added some more support for RedHat linux. Now what does Egypt got to do with the modem. I can only think of installing the driver and asking wvdialconf or kppp to finish the job for me. And I don't think that modems need to be configured to an Egypt settings to work here correctly, just choose USA or something.

Peace!

I am using kppp and I am trying to use it with the infamous sm56 motorola modem. In the list of available devices, I have /dev/modem and /dev/ttySx and some others. I would like to add to them /dev/sm56 how may I do this? I believe this is the last resort for this modem. I am using RH 9.0.

I installed the MDK 10 driver from motrolla's, when I issue the command "modprobe sm56" I get a message saying that the module's format is invalid, any solutions?

Same kernel version??

Make sure you're using the module intended for the very kernel that you are using NOW. It should be the exact version.

I think there's a module for the default 2.6.3-mdk7 kernel ?

never tried the motorola, but please tell us whether it works or not.

I think I know why the problem happens with me now, My motorla modem is very old (I had it since in year 2000, when I bought my old computer), I moved the modem from my old computer to the new one and I downloaded the Win2k/XP driver version 06.05.00 and tried to install it, but the modem never worked, I tried version 06.02.00 (or something like that) and the modem worked. If you noticed, the Linux drivers are all of version 06.05.x which seem not to work with old motorola modems. It's not a driver problem that I had, it's a modem probem!!!!

Thanks anyway,
