Winmodem and ltmodem.o

[star]

I have a Toshiba 4090xdvd laptop with windows and Mandrake 7.1 installed.
I've found a page at http://gandalf.sssup.it/~lamastra/satellite.htm in
which is written that my internal modem is a Lucent Winmodem, specifically
a Mars Model.

They have a driver (ltmodem.o ) so I can download and install at my misc
module and give the following commands to create the device:

mknod /dev/ttyS14 c 62 78 ln -s /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem


QUESTIONS: My misc module means /misc ????
Why does it say there's a option missing in mknod and it doesn't
recognise -s ?????

Thanks and Cheers!

Are you giving the two commands seperately?

mknod /dev/ttyS14 c 62 78

ln -s /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem

HEHE, thanks

It's ok about mknod.

But now it says there's already a /dev/modem
and I can't make the symbolic link...

Ok, stupid question. I've already used the
rm /dev/modem http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

But the thing is when I use insmod ltmodem
it says
...compiled for kernel version 2.2.12-20
while this kernel is version 2.2.15-4mdk

and if I use insmod -f ltmodem
it says now
a module named ltmodem already exists

QUESTION: Does anyone know Where I can find a ltmodem.o compiled for 2.2.15-4mdk kernel???

Thanks again
