Probing for modems hangs
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:41:22 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; U) Opera 7.23 [en] Description of problem: When I try to set up a modem connection, probing for modems hangs. I presume that this is related to my hardware; I have a Sony Vaio laptop which has a winmodem (unsupported by Fedora, but supported with the right Conexant driver), and a hardware modem in a PCMCIA Xircom Ethernet/modem combo card. "cardctl ident" says: Socket 0: product info: "Xircom", "CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56", "CEM56", "1.00" manfid: 0x0105, 0x110a function: 2 (serial) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.10-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to make a new dialup network connection 2. When redhat-config-network probes for modems, it hangs 3. Additional info:
r-c-network probes through kudzu... what does: # kudzu -c MODEM -p say?
Ah, that's the problem. It produces the following (note the segfault at the end): - class: NETWORK bus: PCMCIA detached: 0 device: eth driver: xirc2ps_cs desc: "Xircom CEM56 Ethernet/Modem" vendorId: 0105 deviceId: 110a function: 0 slot: 0 - class: MODEM bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Conexant|HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem (Mob WorldW SmartDAA)" vendorId: 14f1 deviceId: 2443 subVendorId: 104d subDeviceId: 8083 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: a pcifn: 0 - class: MODEM bus: PCMCIA detached: 0 driver: serial_cs desc: "Xircom CEM56 Ethernet/Modem" vendorId: 0105 deviceId: 110a function: 1 slot: 0 - class: MODEM bus: SERIAL detached: 0 device: ttyS3 driver: ignore desc: "Generic Serial Modem" Segmentation fault
reassigning to kudzu
Apologies for the lack of response. Does this persist under FC3? Can you get a strace of 'kudzu -p -c modem'?
Sorry, I no longer use Fedora (I now use Debian).
Closing for now; have not seen other reports of this and can't reproduce it here.
