hotplug??

pcs333 · 2003-10-20 00:32:15

hi
i`ve run hwd and it tells me that hotplug is not running, so its probably quite simple (i hope) but how do i run it ??
i`m gettin a bit desperate to run my usb modem now.

another small problem i have is how to get my wheel to work on my ms mouse, i`ve enabled it but still no joy.

Well, install Hotplug using the package from ftp.archlinux.org/incoming

Untar the tarball, and do:

pacman -A [packagename].pkg.tar.gz

Then to run it, do (as root):

/etc/rc.d/hotplug start

No idea about your modem.

And on your mouse, read the Arch FAQ, it explains it nicely.

1. USB MODEM
HWD's expert mode will not setup your modem automatically but shows what usb modules are available. Currently I am developing one net & modem script, but I am still studying how its done manually.

2. WHEEL MOUSE
HWD creates one sample XF86Config.hwd file. Rename to /etc/X11/XF86Config. If you have an USB mouse, add module usb-ohci or usb-uhci (according to your system) in /etc/rc.conf. To test, run:
# modprobe usb-ohci (or usb-uhci)

thanks for the info guys i`ll give it a go

If you run hotplug with HWD, no need to run: /etc/rc.d/hotplug start.
HWD does it automatically.

i`ve managed to get my mouse working ok now, ohh and my soundcard.
rasat; your hwd was a great help

If you get your modem to work, please let me know.

Maybe this will help to setup usb modem:
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x332.html

Run in root:
# modprobe acm
# mknod /dev/usb/ttyACM0 c 166 0
# ln -s /dev/usb/ttyACM0 /dev/modem

Open Kppp (KDE dial up)
Select <Device> and set /dev/modem, <Setup><Modem><Query Modem>

<b>OR try this page:</b>

PS.
I bought one USB modem Aztech UM9100-U. The module and setup I got from the above page. Works fine.

I also have a usb modem and have recently installed the 2.6 kernel. When I follow rasat's instructions and run

#modprobe acm

...I get the error message: "FATAL: Module acm not found."

What is the best way for me to get this module in the 2.6 kernel?

Thanks

sarah31 · 2004-01-31 23:46:07

look through /lib/modules/2.6.1 for the module or what it has been renamed to.

cbozic · 2004-01-31 23:54:25

Module acm is called cdc_acm under the 2.6 kernel.

Thanks for the help!
