The driver is built for RedHat 6.1 (who has a long history of heavily patching their kernels), and what you're using is a *hell* a lot more recent. I was going to suggest "insmod -f", but I see you alreay tried that :) Since that didn't work, I have to say that you're really out of luck. I hope you didn't pay much for the modem... As to why it doesn't work: A good analogy is you're trying to load a driver for Win95 into WinME - the kernels are waaaay to different for the driver to load. In Linux, the driver is very sensitive to the kernel it's being loaded in to. If someone uses a different compiler from you, or, more importantly, has a different set of patches from you when they built the driver, there's a very good chance that the driver won't load. > 2. Why setserial complains about "No such device" The driver wasn't loaded. > >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 [...] - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE51jYI/ZTSZFDeHPwRApQ7AKDUe++f4tXNJ2I8H9UYvjWZUbmtigCdHg2A ey7Rw3+6z22vkTf63QuflxY= =wrZJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
