What kernel are you / have you been using? On my laptop, neither an external serial modem nor a pcmcia modem card work under kernel 2.6.25.4-10.fc8. In both cases minicom talks with the modems fine in terms of responding to "AT" commands including dialing a number, but, once the connection appears to be established (as announced by "CONNECT 57600") no further alphanumeric information is displayed until "NO CARRIER". Both devices continue to work fine under kernel 2.6.24.7-92.fc8 - I've gone back and forth between the two kernels several times this evening and have verified this behavior. Addendum: This problem persists in kernel 2.6.25.6-27.fc8. kernel 2.6.24.7-92.fc8 continues to work fine. I am using kernel 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 I am using kernel 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686, and the last time my serial ports worked, I was using kernel kernel-2.6.24.7-92.fc8.i686. The ports do not work in kernel-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686, kernel-2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686, and kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686. Is anyone going to look at this? I just did a fresh install of F9 x86_64 on a new machine and my serial ports there are not working either. I'm trying to control my home automation with heyu and all i get is the message "ttopen tcgetattr" in the log and then the process dies. Permissions for the port are set right.. What is going on? This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This appears to be fixed in 10.. Glad no one bothered to look. |
