Hi to all puppy lovers!

I have an old hardware lucent modem,and puppy 5.2 wont recognize it.Puppy 4.3.3. is working flaweless,and recognize modem "out of the box"

Any solution ?

I think there are some extra drivers for old hardware in Puppy Package Manager.
Look in Puppy Lucid repository->system
Pet is extra_drivers-lucid52

Also look in Lucid news in Quickpet under help.

I have just downloaded extra drivers,no use.What is the problem,why Barry done this ?

I am so disappointed in Puppy,older versions didn't have support for my modem and 4.3 then appeared and everything was fine... But then someone again "kicked out" support for some older hardware.

I think I included analog modem support package to the Snow Puppy-012 when I woof builded it. Snow Puppy is based on playdayz Lucid 511 specs but most non ubuntu applications are updated and it is made using latest woof.

I am sorry. I have misled you. I havent ltmodem modules included in Snow Puppy. But I have compiled ltmodem modules though, the sources I found here:

http://bkhome.org/sources/kernel-2.6.35.7/3rd-party/modems/

The pet includes ltmodem.ko, ungrap-serial.ko and v8250.ko, ltmodem firmware and the pet installs them and executes depmod -a

The selected Attachment does not exist anymore

Hmm, try again. And I think, you need reboot also. The firmware is /etc/init.d/ltmodem script only.

Thank you I tried with given driver,but it is very slow.I don't know if it is from Lucid,or drivers... I thought at first that nothing works... but it works..

Yeah. Without even knowing what was the name of the driver you have used in the puppy 4.3.1, it was mostly shooting to the dark.

I noticed that you have posted also in puppy 4.3.1 time and rerwin tried to help you at that time. I couldnt figure out what driver you at last used succesfully.

Anyone have some other ideas ? Thanx very much!

I have tried snow puppy,and it can't detect Lucent modem.

Please,can someone upload Lucent driver for Puppy ?
I tried many puppy versions,most of them don't have Lucent drivers,only puppy 4.3.3 had.
Please help!
Thank you very much for your effort.
