Big Problem with Smart Link Modem

Message

Hello,

the best mobile Linux is for me Puppy Linux. Unfortunately there are heavy problems with my modem. The Windows Ger�manager indicates a Smart left 56K modem to me. I looked after weeks in all news Groups and forums and experimented. All Tips did not help. It must be very difficult to configure the modem. Nearly all distributions can

There is a smartlink modem driver pupget in Puppy 2+. Just run the package manager and choose pupget. The driver will be downloaded and installed.

Puppy 2.10beta has it built-in, ditto the Lucent driver.

I thank you completely cordially for the assistance. I will install the drivers and will test also Puppy 2,10. I report you.

Hello,

I obeyed the tips. Unfortunately nothing functioned. Also Puppy Linux 2,10 not. The following messages appeared:

PupGet: dependency check OKAY
It seems that all the dependencies required for this package are installed

sh-3.1# modprobe slamr
FATAL: Error inserting slamr (/lib/modules/2.6.16.7/misc/slamr.ko): Invalid module format
sh-3.1#

KANOTIX recognizes the modem also as Smartlink and as Interupt: acpi, Intel 82801DB, ICH4 modem. Isn't this chip assisted for Puppy Linux? I am grateful for each assistance .

Greeting Puppyfan

Hello Barry,

the Button for LT and SL modem is present in 2.10, but my modem is not recognized. The Windows XP Device Manager announces my modem under COM3. Do I have to furnish the haven manually in Puppy Linux for the modem? If, as it functions? Excuse, but I am helpless.

Greetings Puppyfan

Hi Barry,

I have some Information from my Notebook.

I provided and was already happy the Internet connection briefly -. But after one reboot, functioned it more. Although I did everything exactly like before. What can do we do?

PuppyFan,
Maybe the previous PupGet modem package installation is causing a problem?
Try booting 2.10 totally in ram, by the boot parameter:

puppy pfix=ram

then run the modem wizard.

Hi Barry,

I started Puppy Linux of CD and into the RAM. It is always the same effect. I found out the fact that I must install first the ALSA Soundcard (although functions to men sound), so that my SL-modem is recognized. I do not get an Internet connection, neither with CHAP, PAP or CHAT. There is also a new problem with 2.10. I cannot install Puppy Linux on a USB stick. The installation is terminated correctly, the CD is ejected. The computer makes none reboot, but stops. With boats of the USB stick receive I the following message: sda: sda1, sd 0:0: 0: 0: Attached scsi disk sda. If I then enter /dev/sda1 follow the message: Permission denied. Do you have perhaps a Answer to my two problems?

Many Greetings

Booting from usb has a bug in 2.10. Another thread discusses this, and there's
a fix. It was also announced in my News Blog a couple of days ago.
