Syed, Thanks for pointing out the 2006_Jan_21 typo in scanModem It should be 2007_Jan_21. Jacques, please fix and repack. Syed New compiles and installs of ungrab-winmodem.ko and slamr,ko are needed with each new kernel for your Class 0703: 2000:2800 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. Unfortunate slamr.ko compiles are broken under 2.6.18 kernels with the slmodem-2.9.11-20061021 code package. We are awaiting a fix from maintainer Sasha. So best stay with a 2.6.17 or earlier kernel, pending that update. SLMODEMD.gcc$.tar.gz provides a pre-compiled slmodemd, so the Makefile is not needed. slmodemd is not a kernel_version dependent module, but a smart helper which needn't be updated with each kernel. Many softmodems use ALSA drivers included in current kernel releases, and slmodemd is the only additional utility needed to complete modem support. Unfortunately your 2000:2800 Modem can only use the slamr.ko driver. MarvS On 1/22/07, Syed Karim <kolosus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello I've been using the modem with my current installation for a while now. There has been a new release of the OS with GCC4. After install I cannot connect with the same file. To connect to the net, with the current install, I went to the website http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ From there I downloaded the file slmodem-2.9.11-20061021 I am including the ModemData.txt file that was given out. Also, I just downloaded scanModem.gz. But the file says that "scanModem update of: 2006_Jan_21", is that a typo or something? Because I just downloaded it! This is a BestData modem with an actual SmartLink SL2800 chip. I can see the chip and read the screen printing on it. Thankyou. -- Syed
