[ltp] thinkpad t20 modem

[matt zagrabelny]

hello,

i have a thinkpad t20 with debian installed on it. i am trying to get
the modem working. heres my current situation:

i have downloaded ltmodem sources from http://ltmodem.heby.de/ and
compiled the modules. this step works, it is when the modules are
installed is where the problem occurs.

the network and sound modules are not loaded when i try the following:
(note: lt_modem loads correctly)

zero:~# modprobe lt_serial
/lib/modules/2.4.20/ltmodem/lt_serial.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20/ltmodem/lt_serial.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.20/ltmodem/lt_serial.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20/ltmodem/lt_serial.o: insmod lt_serial failed

zero:~#dmesg

output from lspci for video, audio, network, modem, and cardbus bridge
report that all the above devices are sharing a pin and an IRQ 

zero:~#lspci -vv
<snip>
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
<snip>

this interrupt line is the same for all the afformentioned devices.
how can all of these devices be sharing the same pin and IRQ? does this
make sense to anyone?

anyhow back to the problem at hand. i am rapidly running out of ideas to
get the lt_serial module loaded correctly.

anyone with any ideas please help.

thanks,
