Did some more searching on my dell d610 modem 8086:266d :

DESCRIPTION: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Modem Controller
VENDOR: 8086 DEVICE: 266d KERNEL MODULE: slamr

Turns out it's an HSF modem that needs the non free Conexant driver.

Oh well.

Booted with multi-session cd on my Dell Latitude D800 laptop. This is the first time I could go wifi with the BCM4306 wireless chip in ANY Linux without using ndiswrapper. It configures WPA connection with no problem.

However, must reconfigure on re-boot.

Looks good.

Barry,

(Booting 2.17 exp1 from cd with no hd & no pup_save. )

I got nothing back when I ran your grep so I had a look in /var/log/messages. I found some errors at the end regarding fd. Sadly, I didn't copy them but thought they were about detection of the drive at bootup. I found that:

Barry,

(Booting 2.17 exp1 from cd with no hd & no pup_save. I have never booted it any other way. )

With regard to puppyserialdetect: After help from Jesse I have to apolgise. I lead you to believe that I had 2 copies of the program but I didn't.

So the real mystery remains: both 1.1g and 1.2 detected my modem but my modem is not detected at bootup of 2.17 exp1! Now the successful detections were while running 2.16.1.

I thought I'd have a go at modifying pupdial so that it could read my wvdial.conf properly. And it worked I got online!

- I changed how the init strings are read - everything after '= ' (I don't know if this is safe for all strings)
- It reads all 3 init strings now.
- I changed the gui to accomodate longer strings.
- Finally, I changed the bit that saves the ENTRYINITnM's.

Now, I don't understand all the code. I have been meaning to look at gins doc etc but I haven't. I just hacked away. Anyway...

Sorry to say so, but the tittle 'CUPS in hand', didn't invite me to give feedback on the 2.17 experimental, CUPS being for me the printing system. If the tittle would have been 'Feedback on 2.17 experimental, I would have jumped on it.

So as requested by Flash I give my feedback on a general basis, well if I am allowed to do so.

Here is the initial discussion regarding ipw2200 detection -

Dougal has done a lot of script tweaks but these have generally not been made public, and he's still working on them.
Maybe send a PM to Dougal to get the work-in-progress?

I have a Diamond Supraexpress modem on the serial port (com1)
I tried for the first time for me a multisession disc.
The pupdial did not find my modem, but after using wizard to click on the ttsy0 port it
found my modem and i was able to configure gkdial. I now runs ok.
On saving to disc and rebooting it did not remember any settings or any added programs like wvdial and gnome-ppp which I use. Is this normal for a multisession? ie new each time?
