I know what you mean. I tried two versions of the ltmodem driver (2.6-8alk and the new "martian" one) and both built properly. In either case, however, when I launched "minicom" and set it to read the correct serial port, the computer would instantly lock up so hard that all I could do was cycle power.

Same thing here.
I'm current with Arch linux [06/06/2006 - kernel 2.6.16.20, ltmodem 8.31.28].
Everything seems to be configured correct. I'm connecting... fine... and when i get message "Logging to the network" in KPPP, after a short moment my IBM T23 notebook freezes. Only hard/power reset helps.

Anybody knows what is going on? I'll be very grateful for any help
Thanks!

Update: latest martian driver works fine. ( in my case anyways, YMMV )

Re: Does anybody have ltmodem working on >2.6.15 ?

Hi guys,

it is a long time ago since the last post but maybe someone could help me. I got a Thinkpad T22 with a Lucent Winmodem which doesn't work on Archlinux with kernel 2.6.27. I tried to install the martian and martian-utils package but WvDail doesn't recognize the modem. I also tried to compile the ltmodem, ltserial modules but it fails. I heard that for kernel >2.6.12 the ltmodem-drivers where replaced by martian drivers.
So after trying last four days to get the modem run with martian drivers I'm frustratetd that it doesn't work. How can I check wether the driver is working?
I did the following:

# pacman -S martian martian-utils
# depmod

Added martian_dev to MODULES-array and martian to DAEMON-array in /etc/rc.conf
restarted computer and run wvdailconf

# wvdailconf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

The martian arch-package seems not to be absolute correct. After installing, the install script didn't do a depmod which ist necessary to load the module via modprobe martian_dev. So my assumption is that the driver is not really vaible. So how can I test the driver?

Has anybody an idea how I could get this modem working?
