Hi Guys
Probably a silly question.
I have a USB Modem and I just cant get it right
I am running 2.4 kernel.
All of my usb devices work perfectly.
The hardware browser does detect the modem but the driver field is
listed as unknown.
Does this mean I still have to install the driver?
Virtually all USB-based modems are "winmodems" meaning that they require
a driver to make them work (they're really not modems but simply an
interface between the software drivers and the phone line).
Unless you can find a driver at www.linmodems.org or a site it aims
you at, you're out of luck. If I were you, I'd spend the $20 and get a
real serial modem. Guaranteed to work on anything that has an RS232
serial port (including USB->serial dongles via the standard usb-serial
module if you must have USB).
