[ubuntu-it] Intel536ep modem chipset [RISOLTO] :-)

Dom 12 Feb 2006 16:59:21 GMT

Un saluto a tutta la lista :-)
Comunico di aver risolto il problema :-)
Mi sembra giusto comunicare anche come :-)
E per favore ridere in silenzio :-)

Prima di tutto mi sembra il caso di dire su che macchina e' questo
chipset :-)
toshiba tecra A4
Pentium M 750 /75W-5A
512MB memoria
80GB Hrdisk (5400 RPM serial ATA)
15 WXGA TFT SCREEN
DVD super mlti drive (2-layer)
56k modem
lan (Marvel Yukon)
wireless lan (802.11G)
bluetooth

Hard disk diviso in:
30GB /dev/sda1 (wins)
50GB /dev/sda2 (Debian/ubuntu Breezy 5.10)

Dopo aver letto

> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto#head-068a426acfdc8518889ea095253c50b665bce5d4

tutto fiducioso parto con la procedura suggerita :-)
Ma... :-)

> FATAL: Error inserting Intel536 (/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-686/kernel/drivers/char/Intel536.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

:-/

Rprovo con il kernel -386 ma:

> FATAL: Error inserting Intel536 (/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/kernel/drivers/char/Intel536.ko): No such device

Il tutto compilato alternativamente con gcc-4.0 di default e con le gcc-3.4
Vado a vedere per la millesima volta il "ModemData" risultato di
"scanModem", scaricato dal sito, per chi non lo sapesse:-)

> http://www.linmodems.org/
> $ cd ~/Desktop
> $ gunzip scanModem.gz 
> $ chmod +x scanModem 
> $ ./scanModem

nel file "ModemData" leggo:
Beh! vi risparmio la prefazione :-)

E si che lo si legge bene :-/ la risposta giusta ai miei problemi, ma mi
perdo piu' sotto :-(

Questo e' stato il pezzo per il quale ho "sbattuto" la testa per almeno
quindici giorni :-(
Risolto come scritto poco sopra

> The modem can be set up by:

>  # su - root
>  # modprobe snd-intel8x0m
>  # slmodemd --alsa -c YOUR_COUNTRY hw:1
>
con una variante:
Dal reposity su dvd che un amico mi ha gentilmente registrato ho
installato con "synaptics" il sorgente "sl-modemd" e pure il demone
"sl-modemd-daemon" e con "module-assistant" compilo e installo.
Lancio "gnome-ppp" e configuro la connessione.
Tutto qui :-)

Ciao e grazie delle direttive :-)

Genki ):o))
