Ok, maybe this is one of those cases in which you need to update alsa to a newer version and recompile. Or instead of --alsa modem:1, try something like # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa hw 0:6, I am not sure or could be that the modem card is disabled in the bootup process as the lines show, The PCI slot 00:1f.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load, but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. When you do # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa modem:1 open up another terminal and run dmesg and send to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for further help.
