My system has an AOpen FM56-PX modem installed. It is a PCI modem that uses the HCF conexant chip. I run various distros on my system and want a single driver for this modem that will work with all distros using any version of the 2.6 kernel. Do you have a driver that I can use for that purpose, possibly in the form of source that can be compiled and installed on each system. It is important to have such a driver since I test various distro's in order to bring to the classroom the info on the differences. That means I need my modem to work no matter which version or flavour of linux I happen to be running and I certainly can't constantly purchase a full version of a driver everytime the next distro comes out with another version of the 2.6 kernel. I would be happy to purchase the full version of the driver but only once. As an instructor I need the flexibility to be able to work with my hardware regardless of the kernel version. <br> <br> So what do you recommend that I do? Do you have a generic driver that will do the job that I require? I have been quite happy with my modem up to this point and am currently using it with a 2.4.22-xfs kernel. I am looking to upgrade but am afraid to do so and loose my ability to connect to the internet since my students depend on my ability to communicate with me via the net. My modem ceases to work under the other versions of Linux that I have currently installed which use the 2.6 version of the linux kernel. I also will be upgrading our lab to the latest Red Hat (core 4) and we have 8 machines that have the same modem installed and connected to a small analog telephone office for the purpose of teaching faxing, and dial-up connections. I will need to have these modems working even when we teach and do kernel upgrades. So having a singular driver that works across the board is necessary there as well. I hate to have to switch products when this product has performed so well up to this point in time in a classroom environment. Most of my students come from industry to learn the ins and outs of Linux.<br> <br> regards,<br> <br> Peter <br> </font> </body> </html> --===============10370085353441194== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ hcflinux mailing list [email protected] https://www.linuxant.com/mailman/listinfo/hcflinux --===============10370085353441194==--
