Subject: Motorola SM56 modem not detected and depmod error
===8<==============Original message text===============
hi,
I am trying to set up modem to access Internet.
I have dual boot system with Win98 and Reh Het 7.3 (2.4.18-3)
modem works OK when connecting to Internet using
Win98 dial up networking tools.
This is my modem details
Its SM56 PCI I Motorola Speakephone modem.
[root at localhost scanModem]# lspci |grep SM56 PCI
00:09.0 Communication controller: Analog Devices SM56 PCI modem
Subsystem: Analog Devices SM56 PCI modem
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5
Memory at e7000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
[root at localhost floppy]# cat /proc/pci|grep SM56 PCI
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Communication controller: PCI device 11d4:1805 (Analog Devices)
(rev 0). IRQ 5.
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=1.Max Lat=255.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe7000000 [0xe70000ff].
I have a problem in that wvdial can't detect my modem.
When use Red Hat 7.3 PPP dialer (Internet Configuration Wizard)
Modem probing says no modem was found on your system
[root at localhost scanModem]# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial1.conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- nothing.
ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- nothing.
Port Scan<*1>: S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 S8 S9
..............................
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
I already have driver for my Motorola PCI SM56 Speakerphone
(data/fax/voice) modem.I got driver files for Windows from same
site
http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/SM56_DRIVERS.html
I am using driver package
http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/SM56_5.1_I386.rpm
[root at localhost root]# rpm -Uvh SM56_5.1_I386.rpm
[root at localhost root]# sm56setup 679

[root at localhost root]# modprobe sm56
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/char/sm56.o

Segmentation fault
I also get some depmod errors
[root at localhost scanModem]# cat /var/log/messages |grep sm56
Dec 21 19:06:20 localhost depmod:

Today I tried new driver package from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/Motorola.html but also gave some
unresolved symbols
[root at localhost root]# rpm -Uvh sm56-85.1-10.i386.rpm
[root at localhost root]# sm56setup 679

SM56 setup complete.
I tried using fixscript from http://www.heby.de/ltmodem (don't
know if I need it since modem is not LT) but coudn't get it to run.
Do I also need an updated serial driver!!
This is what dmesg shows.............
Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT
SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
no trace of ppp support or pppd daemon on my system.
I thought ppp support was provided by default by RH7.3 kernel
However after have tried to manually load sm56
[root at localhost root]# modprobe sm56
$lsmod and $cat /proc/modules always have
sm56 1557324 (initializing)
Never stops initializing!
My /etc/wvdial.conf looks like this
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 57600
SetVolume = 4
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT&F&D2&C1V1S0=0E0
Init3 = ATS7=60\T0M1\N7%C1\Q3*LS1X4
Phone = 144000
Password = hidden
Username = hidden
FlowControl = XONXOFF
[Dialer connect]
Phone = 144000
Password = hidden
Username = hidden
Stupid Mode = 0
I tried other ports as well...... /dev/sm56 as one artical on web
by Marvin Stodolsky suggests amd /dev/modem.Windows detected modem
on COMM3 which would be /dev/ttyS2 in Linux but I haven't tried
this yet. But there is this article which says it should't matter
which internal port is being used by Windows for modem.
I have been searching using google for almost 2 weeks,
had subscribed to close to dozen mailing lists,
sent close to dozen mails but still no progress.
I have researched problem well (ref. e-mail
addreses I know of people who had posted to some mailing lists
regarding this problem) .
I haven't considered option to throw away my modem yet!
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Vinord Anand
