I've been trying to install my modem drivers, I've re-compiled the kernel, installed cpio and the now the make install seemed to work. It then told me to run "hsfconfig", which I did, but it said my modem couldn't be automatically detected and is now asking me for a "PCI vendor ID" and "PCI device ID", but I'm stuck as to how I can find out what these are for my modem.

I've tried searching around and tried to find out in both Mandrake Linux and Windows but can't seem to find information on it. Anyone out there know how to find these ID's?

Thanks

Anything on the actual modem to tell you?

Is this the lucent winmodem drivers? Don't they have a program you can run that tells you this?

Now this is just a guess.

i.e.

cat /proc/pci

RAID bus controller: PCI device 105a:6268 (Promise Technology, Inc.)

Could 105a:6268 be the device ID for my Promise Raid Controller?

You have to interrogate the registers with software to extract the ID info. Here's a link (http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/beginners.html) that should be of some help.

:) Or, you could just cat /proc/pci like mdwatts did and probably find it...

Thanks for the help! I managed to get something called "pciutils" and it automatically detected them for me. :)
