Can´t find my PCI Agere SoftModem in /dev/modem

Hi!

I'm about to finish my first gentoo install, the only thing missing (so far now) is to configure the modem.

I have an Asus a7n8x Deluxe, with an integrated Algere PCI modem.

My Xp box gives me the following info

Code:

Bus PCI 1, device 7 function 0 port com3 max speed 115200 ATI3 Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.41.10 ATI5 2.1.41.10,PCI,Perseus, 33 ATI7 PCI Recursos Intervalo de Memoria ED001000 - ED0010FF Intervalo de E/S A000 - A007 Intervalo de E/S A400 - A4FF IRQ 19

I tried to boot with knoppix 3.6, and then configure the dial-up connection with kpppp, but knoppix finds no /dev/modem device.

On the other hand, the gentoo 2004.2 livecd recognizes does find a /dev/modem, but I don´t know what modules are being used.

Therefore I have two questions:

1. How can I tell which modules are being used by a specific device, or, to be more specific, how can I know what options should I enable in make menuconfig?

2. How should I configure my gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r11 sources to recognize my modem?

This is what lspci -v, after booting with the gentoo 2004.2 livecd, tells me about my modem

Code:

0000:01:07.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics V.92 56K WinModem (rev 02) Subsystem: Lucent Microelectronics: Unknown device 044c Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at ed001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) I/O ports at a000 [size=8] I/O ports at a400 [size=256] Capabilities: [f8] Power Management version 2

and this is what cat /proc/pci thinks about it

Code:

Bus 1, device 7, function 0: Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics V.92 56K WinModem (rev 2). IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=252.Max Lat=14. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xed001000 [0xed0010ff]. I/O at 0xa000 [0xa007]. I/O at 0xa400 [0xa4ff].

and here you have what lsmod thinks about it all

Code:

Oh, yes and this is where /dev/modem was pointing to

Code:

ls -al /dev/modem /dev/modem -> ttySL0

Well, I hope all this might be helpfull

Saludos (greetings) :wink:

P.S. If you think it might be usefull, I could post the contents of /proc/config.gz[/code]
