From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I'm not good at Linux, but i will try to understand my problem on Kudzu: I have an "U.S. Robotics 56K Voice INT PnP" dial-up modem. When i've first tried to use RH9, Kudzu didn't recognize my modem as a part of my PC. That was a problem for me. I've used RH9 as a Linux experience for my self for couple of days, then one day something happened to me: Kudzu recognized my modem and installed it. After that day i had connection to internet which is a great think for a Linux user. I've shutdown my PC at night and went to sleep. On the next day when i booted my PC, Kudzu told me that "My hardware was removed", BUT IT WASN'T! Kudzu asked my to remove it or not, i've choose to "not remove it", and continued to use my modem normally. After that day, each time i boot my PC Kudzu tells me that hardware is removed, i select to "not remove" it, and continue to use it very well. As an extra information; "MS Windows 98SE/2000/XP" has no problem at all with this software, and using it about 5-6 years. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot PC normally 2. See the Kudzu screen which tells that: "Hardware is removed" 3. Then select to "not remove it" (I'm not sure about the selection titles my the meanings are the same... Example: Maybe Kudzu doesn't say "not remove" but the meaning is the same) Additional info:
What does 'kudzu -p -b isapnp' say?
Here's your answer: [root@localhost root]#kudzu -p -b isapnp - class: UNSPEC bus: ISAPNP detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "U.S. Robotics 56K Voice INT:Unknown" deviceId: USR3090 pdeviceId: USR3090 native: 0 active: 1 cardnum: 0 logdev: 0 io: 0x2f8 irq: 3 An additional if information: Today is my lucky day! RH9 recognized my modem as a "Generic Modem" now everything works fine except my each boot. On my each boot kudzu says that this hardware is removed, but IT IS NOT!!! I click on "ignore" (not remove it), then i use my modem with no problems. Waiting for comments and solutions. Thanks
Very interesting. I installed Fedora core 1 a week ago on my PC(abit NF7-S, nforce2 chipset see: http://www.abit.com.tw/page/uk/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php? pMODEL_NAME=NF7-S&fMTYPE=Socket+A ). during the install the integrated ethernet adaptor wasn't recognized. connected to the PC were a USB printer and a USB scanner, and an external modem on com1 (olitec speed'com v92 ready) that is supposed not to require any driver under linux. They were all recognized during install. First reboot : kudzu says that the modem isn't connected and prompts for removal of config. I tried to update kudzu, it changes nothing. I've installed the nvidia drivers for the chipset, and kudzu now sees the ethernet, but for the modem it changes nothing. The modem can be used, but at each reboot kudzu doesn't see it. I've seen so far bug reports 112699, 120590 and 111404 with more or less the same issue and seen the problem on different forums.
