Hi Jacques, Marvin Stodolsky helped me to solve the problem. The scripts on slmodem directory did not work, they gave several errors. Marvis suggested to install the script from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/misc/sl-modem-daemon That script does not give any error, but it did not work. I had to do a small change to it. I added: modprobe -r slamr just before the line in which the module is automatically reloaded if it is not present in memory. Now the problem is solved: the modem works fine and it is automatically available at every boot. Thank you for your help.

The modem works fine but every time I reboot the computer I have to reinstall the driver. /dev/slamr0 is missing although module slamr.ko is loaded. I read in previous mails other users had the same problem, it is due to udev.
