hi team

im every where but on line .for the last 3-4 days ive tried to configure my

modem.which is a intell 1154 536ep modem.

and i cant find an option to configure it to dial up.

this mandrake 10 found all the drivers but the modem. one unlike man9.1

where i had to go into the console and configure them through the command prompt and the modem cd.

it found the sound card driver so there is a little improvement in man 10.

tho overall im happy with the OS .

tho i have to do alot of searching

ive already installed applis i need and removed some i dont need. so surely ive made some progress .

so now i need to leartn how to to configure this modem for dial up.

cant wait to be able to get on this board with MANDRAKE 10

can any one help

in case you don;t have the driver. as for maknig it dial you can use the command line

echo "atd7777777" > /dev/modem (if simlinked) should work. (I think its been a while)

or you can get minicom or kppp (should be under internet)

I ma not sure at what stage you are having problems. so I included some articals .. I would like to see this work for you. so if you could ..

Did you install a driver?

if so does it show up linked when you do a lsmod?

if so the dialing up is covered in some of the following ...

if not let us knwo so we can help with installing the driver.

hi team sorry i havent online for 2-3 days.and havent been able to get back .

i havent searched .the links yet .

ive inserted the modem driver cd .but frome im not sure what to do .

in mandrake 9.1 i had to extract the driver

from the the konsole. but in to mandrake 10 .i cant get it to flow on using the tab key.

the command line i used

was

root : tar pvxzf /mnt/cdrom/driver/linux/Intel-536ep-M.tgz

but once i get to cdrom it wont tab.so what am i doing wrong or in man10

does the commaND line not apply.

sorry to be so diffucult but at this stage im completly lost .

tho i know how to add and remove programs .

right now im off to investigate the links

iccaros.

the very first link (the one to the drive has a read me file and the newest driver for mandrake 10. do not use the one from your cd it may not work with mandrake 10 as it uses a 2.6 kernel and the cd is for the 2.4 kernel

the read me looks strait forwared enough. untill you get to permissions. let us knwo ehn you get to that point and well help you..

here it is again in case you are wondering

1. LICENSE

IMPORTANT - read the file "LICENSE.txt" for the INTEL SOFTWARE LICENSE

AGREEMENT BEFORE COPYING, INSTALLING OR USING.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Release Notes

This release is not compatible with kernels prior to 2.4.

This release supports 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels. It is not compatible to 2.2.x kernels.

The softmodem binary was compiled with gcc version 3.2

v92 support added: modem on hold AT command set,

PCM upstream, v44, and quick connect are implemented.

Linux Compatability tests are performed on the latest or previous

versions of the following distributions: Mandrake, RedHat, and SuSE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. INSTALLATION

Prerequisites:

1. root access

2. bash shell to run install scripts

3. an Intel536ep modem

4. KERNEL SOURCE HEADERS FOR THE KERNEL YOU ARE RUNNING.

(found on your distribution's CD)

6 steps to install

1. login as ROOT

2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"

3. cd into the directory it created.

4. Type: make clean

5. Type: make 536

6. Type: make install

This will create a /dev/modem device file. This file is used as an interface to

modem by all applications: minicom, kpppd, efax, etc. Please configure the applications

to use /dev/modem if neccessary.

The installation script has been designed for the following distributions

release versions

Mandrake-release

SuSE-release

Redhat-release

Fedora Core 2 -release

Unknown distributions install modules and utilities but

will not install boot scripts!.

Please examine the 536ep-inst and 536ep-boot scripts if you have a different distribution.

The driver registers itself as character device

major number 240, minor number 1.

ATTENTION: if the driver compiles but the script just wont work for you.

Here are the bare minimum steps to get your modem to work.

0. log in as root.

1. insmod -f Intel536.o (Intel536.ko for kernel 2.6)

2. you can start "hamregistry &" at this point if you wish.

3. rm /dev/536ep

4. mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1 (note "240" is the default, if it does not

work see what /proc/devices says 536ep's major number is)

5. ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem

6. start a comm application like minicom and use the modem.

7. see section 3 (International Users) for info on setting the correct

country settings.

Uninstallation.

Linux modem driver is started by the boot script 536-boot. The script location

is distribution specific, usually /etc/init.d. So to uninstall the modem, delete

this file, and stop the modules using command: rmmod Intel537

make uninstall does this for redhat.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. FILE DESCRIPTIONS

536-inst installation script to install 536 modules and supporting files

files copied to /lib/modules/(kernel-version)/misc

Intel536.o (Intel536.ko) modem driver

files copied to /etc/rc.d/... (path differes per distribution)

536-boot boot scrip to start and stop driver module

files copied to /usr/sbin

hamregistry hamregistry is the "registry" like tool that the modem uses to

get and store persistant data such as county info and profile strings.

files copied to /etc

hamregistry.bin file that stores the initial persistant data for modem.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. INTERNATIONAL USERS

hamregistry will store the last country setting you

set in the modem.

in minicom (or equivalent comm application)

the commmand to change country setting is "AT+GCI="

the command takes a t.35 country code in hexadecimal.

below is a list of currently supported t.35 country codes.

you can also put this "AT" command in the init string of

the comm application you are using.

if you are a CTR-21 country I think you should be able to

choose a CTR-21 country on the list and be ok. but

that's no guarantee.

The same goes for countries that are "USA" compatable.

(this table also exist in the source file wwh_dflt.c that

ships with the Intel536ep driver)

and all of the helpful Linux HaM and 536 modem users

around the world and at www.linmodems.org

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Security issues

the 536-inst and 536-boot file install the files and device nodes as

root for the owner and group.

this will cause problems for those who want to user the modem to dialout

using an account other than root.

In SuSE, "dialout" is the group used to install the files and device node.

This way, anyone belonging to the "dialout" group can use the modem to dialout.

(take a look at /etc/group)

I did not want the script to allow full access of the modem to everyone without

"root" knowing.

Edit the 536-boot and 536-inst scripts to fit your needs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Compile issues

a. this driver will now compile with the this path:

/lib/modules/<kernel version>/build/include

the 2.4.4+ kernels says to copy the /boot/vmlinuz.version.h

over to the kernel build path. I have the makefile do this

if this file exists. You must install the kernel source

code anyways. It should be on your distribution's CD.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. What is the Hamregistry?

The hamregistery is an application that stores data for the 536ep driver onto

the disk. hamregistry stores information from the driver that needs to

persist from reboot to reboot such as you current country setting.

The 536ep-inst install script and the 536-boot script start this utility

automatically for you.

If this tool is not present when the driver gets used your profile,

quickconnect, and current country setting will not be saved but the driver

should still work fine. The only step that would need to be done is to

make sure that the driver is set to the correct country with

at+gci= (see section 5)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. What's v92 and v44?

a. modem on hold: (ISP and your ISP dialer must also support this)

This will allow you to pause your ppp connection to answer an incoming

call. You will need call waiting, dialer, and ISP support for this to

work. When you are done with the call you can resume your ppp connection

without having to reconnect. The AT command set for this feature exist

in the driver.

b, pcm upstream:

(ISP must also support this, as of version 4.32 I

dont know any ISP's that do)

This will allow faster upload speeds.

to enable: at+pig=0

to disable: at+pig=1

c. quickconnect:

Once you make a call to a v92 modem, your phoneline characteristics are

stored. Whenever you make a new v92 connection it will use this data

to make the call negotiation quicker (approx 10 seconds).

to enable: at+pqc=0 at+pss=0

to disable: at+pss=2

d. v44: (ISP must also support this)

A better compression protocol than v42 which can give you better transfer

speeds.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. The Hamregistry tool

The hamregistry tool is used to provide persistance of settings across

reboots. The haminst and hamboot scripts automatically setup and start

the hamregistry background task for the modem to use.

The hamregistry tool has command line arguments for those who wish to

customize persistant settings. To use these command lines

you must first stop the driver with "bash hamboot stop".

Once the driver has been stopped you may run hamregistry with one of these

arguments to store into the /etc/hamregistry.bin persistance file:

(supply value for items in < >)

-mfg <Modem manufactures name>

-mod <Modem model name>

-hookflash <0,1,2>

hookflash method: 0=(default)without tone 1=with tone 2=reserved

-v92rptopt <0,1>

control v92 reporting: 0=PCM upsteam only 1=(default) all v92

-gpio_lpohd <0,1>

Handset Hook detection: 0=not supported 1=(default)supported

-current_country <t.35 code>

This info is written to the /etc/hamregistry.bin file.

If hamregistry.bin exists along with the installation files, haminst will

copy it to /etc/hamregistry.bin when installing the modem.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Known Bugs/Issues

a. Be aware that the build replaces your

/lib/module/<kernver>//build/include/linux/version.h file with

/boot/vmlinuz.version.h

(this is what Linus T. told me to do with a compiler error)

b. There may be an incompatibility with DevFS. The 536ep device may be located

in /dev/tts/536ep

instead of /dev/536ep. Be aware of this and link /dev/modem to the 536ep

device that corresponds to your setup.

c. Currently there is a problem with driver and SuSE 7.2 ppp

connections. I have been able to get ppp connection with bellsouth

by calling this bash script and wvdial config section:

------my script----------------------

#! /bin/sh

/usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock asyncmap 00000000 \

defaultroute debug /dev/modem 115200 \

ipparam ppp0 linkname ppp0 \

noauth \

connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --chat bellsouth"

------my /etc/wvdial.conf section ---

[Dialer bellsouth]

Modem = /dev/modem

Baud = 115200

Init1 = ATZ

Inti2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2

Dial Command = ATDT

Phone = 9777888

Username = myloginname

Password = mysecretpassword

#Ask Password = 1

Stupid Mode = 0

------------------

wvdial.conf can be created automatically:

wvdialconf wvtest.txt

Found a modem on /dev/537, using link /dev/modem in config.

Modem configuration written to wvtest.txt.

--------

Edit wvtest.txt as indicated. If your country is not the Unites States,

the Init lines should be

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = AT+GCI=< your hexadecimnmal country code >

Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Then:

cp wvtest.txt /etc/wvdial.conf, which will later direct the dialout.

First check COMM status with:

# ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:59:36:60:A2

UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

RX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

RX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB) TX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB)

The loopback "lo" is standard. But any extra COMM mode such as eth0

should be shut down if it will interfere with domain name services (DNS)

ifconfig eth0 down

will suffice more most systems. Check with:

ifconfig

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

RX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

RX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB) TX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB)

Then dialout with

wvdial &
