Hello, I have trouble getting the modem to work on a notebook, IBM Thinkpad R40e. It contains a ali 5451 soundchip & ali 5457 modemchip. The sound part of this notebook works fine, however the modem part does not. I understand the ALSA driver is supposed to create a second sounddevice through which a special daemon can use the modem. This second sounddevice fails to be created however. In dmesg these lines seems related: [17179601.456000] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1934: AC'97 1 does not respond - RESET [17179601.472000] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1943: AC'97 1 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer. [17179601.472000] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/pci/ali5451/../../alsa-kernel/pci/ali5451/ali5451.c:1976: ali mixer 1 creating error. (full dmesg output is here: http://haar.student.utwente.nl/~julius/dmesg-bob-laptop) Since the notebook does not contain a serial port for an external modem, this is very inconvenient. Is there anything I can look into to solve this problem? I have already tried installing the latest ALSA release, but it has the same problem. Can I provide more information to help solving the issue in the driver?
