Lucent Winmodem...

Hi everybody!

Does anybody have any module to get working my lucent winmodem? Over linux
it works fine… but…on qnx i couldn’t find none… Does anybody knows if
just recompiling the modules of linux os over qnx it will works?

Please help me…

You are out of luck here. There are binary-only drivers for Linux, so
you can’t compile or port the source code. So without docs (which
lucent does not release), nothing much can be done.

Chris, Zephyrus,

I have the exact same problem. Can you point me to this Linux source
code please? I might just be able to write the equivalent driver for QNX
6.

Bernard

Hey… I have the sources of the linux driver! Are you interested in it?
Can I send it to you by e-mail? I don’t remember the url…

There are a good documentation about the code too… I don’t have knowledge
enough to modify them… so that’s why I don’t started…

If you have source you should be able to write a resmgr for QNX that will
driver your card.

Unfortunelly i’m not a master of C++ development… :frowning: I’m just a poor

If you could find the URL to working source that would be very interesting.

Yes, send me the code directly. I’ll take a look and start figuring out
how to write a QNX resource manager for this beast.

Please, keep looking for the URL and post it when found.

source code for a winmodem?
hehe, must be dreaming …
on the other hand, since you are not a programmer, I won’t be surprised
if you don’t know what “source” means :slight_smile:
seriously, I’d love to be proved wrong.

My opinion as well honestly. I am nearly 100% sure that the linmodem guys
are far from having a good working driver and that everyone uses the
Lucent binary-only module.

But hey - if he can provide some source, all the power to him!

Maybe I’m wrong… but… plese check this site and let me know if I’m wrong
or not…

That’s the driver that I compilled… 6.00c

oh that one. I’ve been using it for a long time on my
thinkpad. there are some sources in that tarball, but the core part
is a binary object: ltmdmobj.o
so basically you compile the sources and then link to that object file…

linux of course :slight_smile:
the object file is for linux and there is no way
to link a linux obj with qnx’s ones as far as I know.
again, if you can find the source code for this “binary properiety object”,
we would love to see.

Have you tried to relink/recompille it?

on linux, yes. those source codes are nothing but bridging the
linux kernel and the propriety object file.

I think nvidia and some other companies use the same trick to
release binary only drivers:
where the code that needs to be loaded into the kernel is GPL,
the source code is included. This both allows a buffer to
the GPL code but also to support various different versions of
the kernel with the same (binary) driver.
Moreover, it allows for a lot of naive users claiming that those companies
are distributing the source-code because they have seen this little module :slight_smile:))

Since the core part is a binary only object, there is no way to
use it on qnx :frowning:
