David For your SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) - Kernel Linux version 2.6.13-15.12-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 Thu Aug 24 11:23:58 UTC 2006 scanModem update of: 2006_December_25 with modem PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:1f.6 8086:24c6 1025:003d Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM the archives relate that the 1025:003d has an Agere Systems chip. Thus in principle: 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. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number However this will not suffice because: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled Read Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Do $ dmesg > dmesg.txt Send dmesg.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx We might be able to deduce the hardware problem. From Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 10: 25056 XT-PIC uhci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb3, ehci_hcd:usb4, Intel 82801DB-ICH4, ohci1394, eth1, yenta all this device sharing might be the problem. Detach any USB device and remove any PCMCIA cards before bootup. After bootup, rerun scanModem to see if the output has improved.
