Problem with Lucent winmodem on debian 2.2

[Shaji N V]

Hi, I am trying to configure Lucent Winmodem on my HP Pavillion (6735) box with Debian 2.2. I have followed the instructions from www.linmodems.org for installing the binary only driver provided by Lucent, but still have problems in loading the driver. The following bits should tell the story.. Can someone help me out? The modem is working fine with Windows ME.   I am not able to understand what exactly the problem is. 1. Why kernel module is not getting loaded. (Lucent's driver is supposed to support shared IRQ - Shouldn't it probe for the IRQ? Windows ME uses IRQ 3) 2. Why setserial complains about "No such device" Thanks in advance, Shaji From insmod -f ltmodem ---------------------- Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/ltmodem.o Warning: kernel-module version mismatch  /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/ltmodem.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.12-20  while this kernel is version 2.2.17 /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/ltmodem.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters From cat /proc/pci ------------------     Communication controller: Lucent (ex-AT&T) Microelectronics Unknown device (rev 0).       Vendor id=11c1.
