Hello Marvin, that's me again...I have changed distro and have now alsa 1.0.13 installed and I applied (without it didn't detect the modem) also the Vladimir patch on /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.25/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c , but maybe in the wrong place (you said "last stanza", but other things seemed different a lot: > /* > * configuration and preset > */ > static struct hda_board_config alc882_cfg_tbl[] = { > { .modelname = "3stack-dig", .config = ALC882_3ST_DIG }, > { .modelname = "6stack-dig", .config = ALC882_6ST_DIG }, > { .pci_subvendor = 0x1462, .pci_subdevice = 0x6668, .config = > ALC882_6ST_DIG }, /* MSI */ > { .pci_subvendor = 0x105b, .pci_subdevice = 0x6668, .config = > ALC882_6ST_DIG }, /* Foxconn */ > { .pci_subvendor = 0x1019, .pci_subdevice = 0x6668, .config = > ALC882_6ST_DIG }, /* ECS */ > { .pci_subvendor = 0x1854, .pci_subdevice = 0x001c, .config = > LC880_LG_LW }, /*patch Vladimir/* > { .modelname = "auto", .config = ALC882_AUTO }, > {} > }; > > static struct alc_config_preset alc882_presets[] = { The output changed with some error, but still no modem is found: # slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa hw:0,6 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.10 May 3 2006 13:12:51 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/2' created. modem `hw:0,6' created.

The VendorID 0x11c13026 softmodem chip is in principle supported by the snd-hda-intel driver included within the ALSA audio+modem driver set. However recognition of 0x11c13026 first begins with ALSA version 1.0.13. There are instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg0????.html The ? in the device designation in hw:0,? will be manifest after the driver update. Typically ? is in the range of 0-6 .

Its primary controller manages the traffic with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem. ----------------------------------------- Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz and read instructions therein.
