Trying to follow the instuctions here;
http://www.geocities.com/chriscmalcolm/index.htm
To compile and install the driver for my no name Conextant ADSL PCI
modem. The card works, I used to have it working on Redhat 7 or 8 can't
remember which now.
Anyway I followed the directions but get a couple of odd things.
The driver module is inserted,
Sep 9 19:59:02 Host kernel: CnxADSL: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
Sep 9 19:59:02 Host kernel: CnxADSL: CnxtDsl_init Starting

Sep 9 19:59:02 Host kernel: CnxADSL: ARMALIoctl TIG_LOAD_DONE Device finished download OK? command=1074537731
But then the following error messages are inserted into the logs, loads of them...
Sep 9 19:59:02 Host kernel:

If I stop and restart the service, I get the following in the logs, but
Sep 9 20:02:22 Host pppd[3215]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/plugins/pppoatm.so loaded.

Sep 9 20:02:22 Host pppd[3216]: pppd 2.4.0b1 started by root, uid 0
What does this mean??
Sep 9 20:02:22 Host kernel: CnxADSL: CmgmtOpen opening
Sep 9 20:02:22 Host pppd[3216]: ioctl(ATM_SETBACKEND): No such device
Sep 9 20:02:22 Host kernel: CnxADSL: CmgmtClose Closing
Sep 9 20:02:22 Host pppd[3216]: Exit.
Normally, I would expect to see the successful assignment of the IP addresses.
Kernel is 2.6.9.1
Thanks any assistance
