I just tried this latest driver and it builds properly; it correctly induces the serial driver to create /dev/tts/1 when mwave.o loads and to delete it when mwave.o unloads; and it allows me to establish a connection. No problems encountered so far on: ThinkPad 600 51U (266 MHz Pentium II processor) linux-2.4.6-ac2 + Mwave driver patch 20010718 MWAVE DRIVER USERS! Please note that the name of the module has changed from mwavedd.o to mwave.o . You may have to change your /etc/modules.conf. E.g., I had to change the line alias char-major-10-219 mwavedd to alias char-major-10-219 mwave Although the driver is called "mwave", it does not support all functions of all Mwave DSPs. Currently it only supports the 3780i Mwave DSP and only for the purpose of Hayes- compatible modem implementation. The 3780i DSP is found on certain IBM ThinkPad laptop models, including the ThinkPad 600. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Schroeder Mike Sullivan, and IBM for contributing this GPLed driver to Linux. -- Thomas Hood paulsch@haywired.net wrote: > > Oh yeah... > > It can be gotten here: > > http://oss.software.ibm.com/acpmodem/ > > Directly: > http://oss.software.ibm.com/pub/acpmodem/mwave_linux-2.4.6.patch-20010718 > > On Wed, 18 Jul 2001, Paul Schroeder wrote: > > > Okay..
