Hi all,

I have been trying for a couple fo days to get the last piece of the Linux Puzzle going on my Inspiron 8500 - the internal modem.

I have used Scan Modem to query what I have and it reports the following:


UPDATE=2005_Feb_ 1
ONLY use scanModem downloaded as: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz

./scanModem should ONLY be run within a Linux/UNIX partition.
If within a MicroSoft/DOS partition, abort with Ctrl-C now !!!
Copy scanModem.gz to your Linux partition and restart.

The soft modem Subsystem operates under a controller
8086:24c6 82801DB ICH4
capable of supporting under Linux AT LEAST modem Subsystem chips from manufacturers:
Broadcom
AgereSystems
Conexant
Intel
Smartlink
Use the SmartLink slmodem software for support.

To enable a soft modem test, please briefly login as Root:
su - root
Load a softmodem support module:
modprobe snd-intel8x0m
Exit Root status
exit
and rerun
./scanModem

Does anyone have any idea of drivers that work with my Kernel ? I have Fedora Core 3 with all the latest updates installed - 2.6.10-1.741_FC3

I have tried Linuxant (though usure if themodem is HCF or the other one) and a few of the others though have not had any luck

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Blair
