Description

Fedora Core 3 permits configuration of "eth0" on installation, and "ppp0" after installation. FC3 not only finds the generic (Robotic) pcmcia modem in the external slot with KUDZU, but also finds the same device from the GNOME network-sys-config window. It identifies the port as ttyS3 and proceeds to accept phone number, isp and password normally. FC4 and FC5 do neither. If Kudzu is installed, it is not activated during installation, or if it is, it does not report the modem card. I do not understand why network-system-config will not detect the modem and identify a ttySx port. The same issue presents in FC6 and the FC7 just installed. FC7 includes updates for kudzu and pcmciautils which may impact the problem. John With an installation fo FC7 from a "live' disk, and after downloading 154 updates to that version of FC7, I once again attempted to configure my pcmcia modem. This time it worked. I dialed up my ISP and made a 28kbps connection. After trying another (Ubuntu) distro, and reloading Fedora 7, it failed again. I will wait for Fedora 8 to see if it will be possible for the kernel to recognize a pcmcia modem, configure it, and successfully dial-up for a connection. -> s-c-n Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Thanks for your reply. I have stopped trying to use the 56k pcmcia modem. I have seen a USR modem that will connect to the Universal Serial bus, which current Fedora versions might find addressable. I am using a USB wireless adapter with the laptop under ubuntu 7.10 successfully. Thanks for your update. |
