Description of problem: smolt gnerates serial driver as the driver for Smartlink 56K Modem. This is incorrect information as the driver(s) used are from Smartlink Section of LinModem Resource Page serial MODEM pci Smart Link Ltd. SmartLink SmartPCI562 56K Modem Smart Link Ltd. Fedora 6 smolt profile http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=4c1689bf-dca4-41d9-93cb-c0b226c4f654 and Fedora 7 smolt profile http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=ab3e390d-6c07-4e80-ab82-e33899913db3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [olivares@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa smolt smolt-0.9.8.1-1.fc7 and the other one in Fedora 6 which I will put here later. Im doing this from Fedora 7 which also has same mistake. Part of the reason that smolt can say that the serial driver is the one is because of the following issue: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/slmodem-serial.html Since then this problem has not gone away. ungrab-winmodem is the quick fix for this. How reproducible: Run mmolt and send profile Steps to Reproduce: 1. run smolt 2. select yes on smolt prompt 3. open your smolt profile on web browser and check driver for Modem Actual results: the two drivers http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20070505.tar.gz and http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz support the Smartlink 56K winmodem Expected results: Additional info: For a better explanation of what is going on please look at http://www.geocities.com/olivares14031/26221-27fc7-slmodemd.html and at the homepage http://www.geocities.com/olivares14031/ for more slmodemd examples and howto's for better infomation. lspci for modem returns 00:0a.0 Modem: Smart Link Ltd.

Thanks for this, I have a strong feeling this is a design flaw in the way I setup how devices are submitted. we'll have to come up with a fix for it.
Mike, smolt gets the modem correctly on the other machine running Fedora 7 http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=b789470a-11cc-4097-acd7-c022ad437d6b Driver Modem Type ... ..... ...... Unknown OTHER pci Agere Systems LT WinModem Agere Systems lspci reports it as 00:0a.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem (rev 02) So the problem might not be with smolt, but with the serial driver capturing the modem and not releasing it. Just a thought. Do I send in the Fedora 6 information? Please let me know if you need something. Thanks, Antonio
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. 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 '7'. 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 7'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 7 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. 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. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
