The ltmodem site says that the package does not work on 2.4.21. It is
not clear whether 2.4.31 will work. You or I will need to test
compiling it with 2.4.31. If you try this, you will need the 2.4.31
kernel source code package, unpacked where the source code can find
it. (3 most common locations: /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.4.31
/lib/modules/2.4.31/build) I don't have the 2.4.31 source tree set up
right now, so if you wait for me to build them, you will need to wait
at least a week.

The site says 8.26a won't work on Redhat 2.4.21.
I downloaded 8.31a10 'Debian binary build fixed' and will attempt it with 2.4.31 after reading the readme.

The latest version that works with 2.2. kernels is 6.00c and I got 404 not found for both links. The archive of older binaries just times out.
Could you post your 2.2.16 driver?


I have the tree all set up (first location).

It might look in only one of the locations that I listed, so if the
build fails due to the path, it's a good idea to put symlinks in the
other two locations so it can find it anywhere it looks.
I think I have symlinks too.

Does anyone know why aic7xxx.o did not compile in 2.4.31 but did in
2.2.16? I configured it as module.

Did the kernel compile stop with an error message? If not, was it
listed in the output of cd /usr/src/linux; find | grep aic7xxx? If
not, that is very mysterious. Perhaps it's a bug.

No error messages that I noticed but I was not looking for them.
I just realized the 'cd...xxx' meant to look for mention of aic7xxx, which is found but not as a module.


Did you post your 2.2.16 ltmodem modules?

I didn't build them. Other people already figured out how to get it
working with 2.2.16, I merely posted the directions on the BL list.
The two links at your URL are no longer working.

I have kernel source for that.

The driver I posted is the old, proprietary (Lucent?) driver. You
can't compile it from source. I don't know if the new driver will work
with 2.2.16, but I don't care since the old driver works well.
Please share it.
