| |
I am just writting about a problem with the new 2.0.32 kernel. I *was* running kernel ver. 2.0.30 with the slackware distribution and everything was working just great. After compiling and installing 2.0.32 several times..each time trying different configurations. I gave up and went back to 2.0.30. The problem is with the modem. I have a laptop and (obviously) am using PCMCIA modems, the new kernel will not recognize the modems...I can not use PPP nor can I even talk to the modem in minicom or any other modem dialers. I included everything to do with PCMCIA and removable IDE interfaces in the configuration and tried many different combonations...also getting help from many people on IRC...nothing worked. I tried 2 modems. One being a Simple Technologies Communicator 33.6 and the other a Megahertz ethernet/modem card model number XJEM3288. Both of them failed. I am not sure if it is just THOSE modems or if there is something wrong with this kernel for support with PCMCIA modems or if it is just my computer that doesn't like 2.0.32. In any event, I will try other modems and report the results here. If ANYONE out there can help me get 2.0.32 up and running I would be *very* greatfull, and I *AM* just a beginner with linux so don't assume that I have done something that is obvious to fix the problem....PLEASE email me at spillar@cln.etc.bc.ca if you can help me at all. Thank you...
