Greetings As the title says, I'm having issues configuring the built-in modem on my laptop in Gentoo, with a 2.6.20 kernel. The modem is most likely hosted by the Intel HDA sound card but I attached the modemData.txt nevertheless. What i've done so far : -> installed slmodemd fro the Gentoo portage -> modprobe'd snd_intel8x0m -> lauched slmodemd with the following command : mfb@ana ~ $ sudo /usr/sbin/slmodemd -c FRANCE --alsa hw:0 -> wvdialconf seems to detect the modem correctly : mfb@ana ~ $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

It might be worth noting that while I get all the "NO CARRIER" messages in wvdial, I get those messages in the terminal I launched slmodemd from : error: cannot setup hw params for playback: Invalid argument I've tried modem:0 instead of hw:0 when launching slmodemd with the same results so now I'm stuck. Help would be much appreciated. Firas. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. 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.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it depends on,

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
