Unni First of all, you need to get a system with a 2.6 kernel. Debian 4.0 (aka "Etch") was released a few days ago so I suggest you upgrade to it. Then, your modem is supported by the slamr driver, to install it in Debian, do # apt-get install sl-modem-source sl-modem-daemon \ > build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) wvdial # module-assistant auto-install sl-modem # depmod -a If all went well, your driver was compiled and installed, now youneed to configure slmodemd, for example : # nano -w /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon You should only need to edit the SLMODEMD_COUNTRY line, the rest should be fine as is. Now, we load the driver and restart the damon : # modprobe slamr # /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart We configure wvdial : # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf # nano -w /etc/wvdial.conf Fill in your username, password and ISP phone number. Finally, we dial the ISP : # wvdial And if all went well, you should be all right.
