From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: In RH 7.1 using the config programs my modem is found on /dev/ttyS2. In 7.3 it's not found at all by config-network. It's an internal, hardware modem. After reinstalling 7.1 (to get a working reference point) and then reinstalling 7.3 and doing a bit of research with setserial I found the modem at /dev/ttyS4, much to my surprise (didn't think that port existed). Interestingly, the hardware summary program doesn't show my modem either. Using /dev/ttyS4 in redhat-network-config worked like a charm. Perhaps a few higher ttyS* numbers should be added to the scripts that find the modem and then show the possible ports? Or is this a problem elsewhere? I had trouble deciding if this was a kernel problem or not, but after all, the kernel knows the modem is there, it's the config and other programs that don't. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh install of RH 7.3 on reformatted drives 2. Try to configure network/dialup 3. Dialup won't find modem higher than ttyS3 To solve: 4. use setserial -bg ttyS* to find actual modem port 5. Enter port in config-network 6. Works Actual Results: After I used setserial to find the port, it works fine. However, I don't think a newbie should be expected to know that. It took me reading up in an old networking manual to find the command I wanted, and I was very determined (love 7.3, but really need my internet connection!). Additional info: This is a PenguinComputing Tempest computer: AMD Athlon 1.3G 10/100 Ethernet Card Internal Hardware Modem (sorry don't know the flavor)

Can you test the attached script (duped, didn't show up the first time) on your system (as root) and return the result?
Tested: The result is: [root@lavender root]# ./modemtest [] [root@lavender root]# I haven't a clue what that means, I think I need to continue reading my python manuals :).
It means that the probe code didn't find a modem. The probe code is part of kudzu... reassigning.
Fixed in 1.2.47-1.
