From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I have the current version of Fedora Linux installed on my HP Pavallion laptop (ATHLON). Everything works great except for the problems I'm having getting the modem (hardware) driver installed... and yes, it is a physical hardware modem, not a winmodem... At the time when I installed Fedora on this laptop I didn't own the modem so no driver was installed on the system at the time. Later when I purchased the modem so that I could get dial-up internet access on it, I'm still unable to figure out what exactly needs to happen to get this all up and working... When I did alittle reading on the internet and thought that I might be lucky and the system might recognize that I had put a modem in the slot and install the driver automatically... (haha)... Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I ran some line command (can't remember which one) that tried to determine what port the modem was on but all failed, it doesn't recognize that the modem's in my laptop and plugged into the phone outlet at all... Thanks in advance, Wes Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installed Fedora w/o hardware modem in laptop 2. Later plugged in hardware modem hoping that the machine would recognize it and possibly install driver software automatically 3. Additional info:
What's the output of dmesg after plugging it in?
I have the same problem with my internal modem but I have had it before the installtion. I also notice the /dev/modem file is missing. Which /dev file are we suppose to use.
I have installed fedora core 1 to new system ; when I try to activate the hardware modem -intel v90/92 56k etc - it returns with the error message <failed to activate (isp name) with error 2> any help please thanks
