Jojojo,
That depends on which one it is.
Start at www.linmodem.org
If you want more help, please post the lspci line that refers to your modem.

| Although a loooong time ago back when it was a different site and when I ran debian http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ these were the ones I used with one of those modems. Used to work pretty well too. |

Jojojo,
There is a later version than that.
Do the following:-
| Code: | emerge sync
emerge hcfpcimodem |
This should fetch and install hcfpcimodem version 0.99.03042700.
I've just done this with the -f switch (--fetchonly) and it downloaded OK for me.

| I con't do this code because if I want to download a driver, that's because I can't access internet under Gentoo linux. So I would like to download it first with win xp, and then emerge it under gentoo. Is it possible ? |

Jojojo,
Start here
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads.php. You have to click through a licence to get there, so you may need to start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers then navagate.
You need to get the file called hcfpcimodem-1.01lnxt04032800full.tar.gz be sure to get the x86 one not the PPC one. Note that this is a later file than the one in the ebuild.
There will probably be a readme file in the tarball to tell you what to do. Note that the baud rate is limited to 14400 baud unless you pay for a key to get all the features.
You can move the file from XP to Gentoo in any number of ways.
USB flash memeory, CDROM, floppy, FAT partition etc.

Hi. I have a weird problem with the Linuxant driver. It installs smoothly, works fine, but when I reboot it does worse than not working, it hangs the system! If I make uninstall and make install BEFORE running it after reboot, it works fine again.
Of course I would like to use the driver without having to recompile on each reboot...
This is on my wife's computer. On mine, I have  Lucent . It seems to work at least as fast as lan at work  , but I have to run
| Code: | | /etc/conf.d/lt_winmodem start |
each time I reboot... Doing
| Code: | | rc-update add lt_winmodem default |
does not make it run at boot either.
Anyone has any idea about what's happening?

dmvianna,
/etc/conf.d/lt_winmodem start ??
The script files to start things should be in /etc/init.d any data files such a script may need should be in /etc/conf.d, which is why | Code: | | rc-update add lt_winmodem default |
doesn't work. It tries to run the script /etc/init.d/lt_winmodem and fails.
Does modem starting need a script or just some kernel module names added to /etc/modules/autoload?
Have a peek at the script, if you are not sure, post it.
The Linuxant driver I am unable to play with, since I don't have the hardware. If you tell me what version it is (or provide a web link) I may be able to build it.

Dear Neddy,
Here's the URL for the Linuxant (Conexant modem) driver:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt04051300full/hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt04051300full.tar.gz
As for lt_winmodem, it is a script. This is its content:
| Code: | #===========================================================================
# File Name : lt_winmodem
#
# Copyright (c) 2002, 2003, 2004 Agere Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
#
# Description:
# Service script for Agere/Lucent Mars Modem driver modules
# This script is linked to various run levels and will be run when the system
# boots up or shuts down.
#
# Revision History:
# Name Date Change
# Soumyendu Sarkar 12/03/2002 Initial
#===========================================================================
#!/bin/sh
group="uucp"
mode="666"
device="/dev/ttyLTMS14"
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting Agere/Lucent Mars Modem"
/sbin/insmod -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/ltmodem.ko; \
/sbin/insmod -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/ltserial.ko; \
;;
stop)
echo "Shutting down Agere/Lucent Mars Modem"
/sbin/rmmod ltserial; \
/sbin/rmmod ltmodem; \
;;
restart|reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: lt_winmodem {start|stop|restart|reload}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
|
There's another thread where people are discussing this. I've posted the URL for this driver there https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=162625&highlight=ltwinmodem. It works, so maybe it would be a good idea to build it too? Just an idea.

dmvianna,
That script defines three environment varables then loads/unloads two modules. It doesn't appear to use the the enviroment varables but may well do.
It also needs a parameter, in particular, which it won't get if you try to run it from /etc/init.d. It will just echo the useage at you.
The Gentoo way to fix this is to make the script read its parameter from /etc/conf.d/lt_winmodem but that a lot of work.
Cut out
| Code: | case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting Agere/Lucent Mars Modem" |
and | Code: | stop)
echo "Shutting down Agere/Lucent Mars Modem"
/sbin/rmmod ltserial; \
/sbin/rmmod ltmodem; \
;;
restart|reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: lt_winmodem {start|stop|restart|reload}"
exit 1
esac |
As it no longer expects a paramenter, it will run from /etc/init.d and rc-update ... too.
