IO ERROR's Journal: Anyone know what kind of winmodem I have in my ThinkPad R40?

Help! I have an IBM ThinkPad R40 2681CU1 with one of those built in winmodems. Or I THINK it's a winmodem. Here's the lspci output:

I already tried the ltmodem-8.26 driver, and no dice. It doesn't even think there's a modem installed. Is that the right driver? Does it need a patch? What's the right driver for this modem?

Have you searched the mailing list archives at linux-thinkpad.org? Very useful list. You're bound to find answers there.

Yep, found it on the mailing list. The driver doesn't work with 2.6 kernels though...so I guess I'm not using this modem for a while.

Troll in your own journal? You should complain to someone!

Slashdot should not allow moderation in other people's journals. What the fuck.

I think whoever it was meant to moderate the parent, which WAS a troll. Oh well I don't care.

Re:Alternate solution

I imagine that if you used Windows, you would encounter flawless detection and behaviour of the modem in your ThinkPad. The only issue here is that you're trying to use Linux.

Sure, and then nothing else would work. Like my Microsoft wi-fi card, which bizarrely enough works better in Linux than Windows.

Have you tried compiling it?

[cerberusss]

You probably already knew this, but for kernel 2.4, the driver can be downloaded here [smlink.com].

Of course, it's kernel 2.4, but have you actually tried compiling it with 2.6? Maybe only a couple of lines need to be commented out, changed, whatever...
