I got my Lucent Winmodem working with the ltmodem module found in
linux568.zip, but get a diagnostic
message from the module at boot time. I switched to the 2.2.12 kernel
after earlier getting clear
failures when trying to load the module with kernel 2.2.5. Now things
appear to work great in so
far as modem operation, but I get a boot time warning about the module
having been compiled with
kernel 2.2.12-20 but my having only kernel 2.2.12. Does anyone know
that the '-20' refers to?
Should I have gone for 2.2.13? Thanks.

My understanding is that the "-20" refers to the version of the kernel
package in Red Hat 6.1 (or whatever update to it Lucent used). If it
works, I wouldn't worry about it. You might want to pester Lucent to
release the source, though, so that it can be compiled for other kernels
entirely.
