Need help with Intel 56k Modem Driver

Asked by Shah Hussain Khan

Hello Dears,

I have an Intel 56k Modem on a Toshiba Satellite x200-21t laptop, i am trying to install my driver on ubuntu, but don't know how to do it, i am getting some errors :S

Detail about of modem:

[INTEL-V92HAM-453]
Chip Number: MD5628D-L-B

and Driver can be find here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=1057&DwnldID=5976&strOSs=39&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng

Sorry, i forgot to tell you this:

The Intel-V92ham-453.tgz contains the Intel® V.92 modem chipset driver for Linux (PCI) version 4.53. This driver supports Linux versions 2.4.X kernels (up to 2.4.18). This driver is not compatible with kernel version 2.2.X.

My Modem Driver Support 2.4.X kernels, but where can i find this??

Please help me

You need to install your kernel headers, and autoconf: sudo apt-get install autoconf linux-kernel-headers linux-source

after that try installing per the README :

log in as root.

insmod -f hamcore.o

insmod -f ham.o

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

rm /dev/ham

mknod /dev/ham c 240 1 (note "240" is the default, if it does not
work see what /proc/devices says ham's major number is)

ln -s /dev/ham /dev/modem

start a comm application like minicom and use the modem.

You can fine 2.4 kernel source here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/

You'd have to compile it yourself.

Shah which step are you stuck at, and can you post any relevant error messages? Were you able to compile/install the 2.4 kernel? The install script is not debian/ubuntu specific - so to get it to work you'd have to edit. The second set of install instructions - using insmod are your best bet.

Shah,
If the laptop can connect, why not network the desktop through it to pull your packages, or until you can get your modem driver working? If that's not possible, you can download .deb packages and burn them to disc.

You can grab .deb packages here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/

The fastest way to install a 2.4 kernel is to grab the source from kernel.org (link above). Extract it, then cd into that directory.

Issue these commands:

sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel fakeroot build-essential

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source

cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config

sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools libqt3-mt-dev # if you plan to use 'make xconfig'

make xconfig

make-kpkg clean

fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=custom kernel_headers kernel_image kernel_source

It takes quite a while to compile a kernel, but when it's done you'll have three installable deb files for linux-image, linux-headers, and linux-source.

Move the file you've downloaded to the /usr/src directory and extract it. Then CD into the extracted directory from the command line. After that folllow the instructions above.

Here a page with detailed info on kernel compilation if need more help:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

Did you try to install the drive using the insmod method? It may be possible to insert the module in your current kernel using these steps:

insmod -f hamcore.o

insmod -f ham.o

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

rm /dev/ham

mknod /dev/ham c 240 1 (note "240" is the default, if it does not
work see what /proc/devices says ham's major number is)

ln -s /dev/ham /dev/modem

As you can see - it's in the repos. Not sure why you can't install it. But your going to need those packages to compile the driver, and to compile a 2.4 kernel version as well.

You can probably live without linux-kernel-devel, as I see I don't have it, and I've compiled a few kernels... But you will need linux-headers and linux-source

There's lots of modems which work easily in Ubuntu - get a "hardware" modem. Most modems are cheap winmodems - half on their job is performed in Windows OS, and this is why it's very difficult to make them work under linux.

Any U.S. Robotics "hardware" modem will work great. I've had several of them and they are detected out of box in linux - no drivers needed.

Anywhere and everywhere my friend. I bought both of mine off ebay. Here's a list of them for sale:

Just make sure it's a "hardware" modem. After you find one you could always check U.S. robotics site and make sure it lists "linux" compatability
