Marvin, Sorry for the late answer, I have been quite busy lately. Unfortunately, I cannot test my modem right now but with the 1.0.13 version of the ALSA driver, I don't get those error messages anymore when running wvdial. I installed them with Gentoo's portage instead of the method you provided so I'll post how I did it, if it can help someone : -> First, the ALSA 1.0.13 drivers wouldn't compile on my 2.6.21 kernel, I had to downgrade to 2.6.18. -> Then, in your kernel config, make sure the following are okay : CONFIG_SOUND is set CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is _not_ set CONFIG_SND is _not_ set -> Also make sure the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the kernel version you want to build ALSA for. For example : # ls -ld /usr/src/linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2007-05-08 15:25 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.18.8 -> Recompile your kernel and reboot. Your sound card will not be detected as you disabled ALSA in your kernel. -> Uninstall all the installed alsa-* packages : # for i in /var/db/pkg/media-sound/alsa-* > do emerge -C $i > done -> Add a line in your make.conf to choose which ALSA module(s) you want to compile. Here, I want the snd-hda-intel module so I do : # echo "ALSA_CARDS=\"hda-intel\"" >> /etc/make.conf -> And install alsa-driver, forcing version 1.0.13 : # emerge =alsa-driver-1.0.13 -> And finally, we mask the versions > 1.0.14 so they won't get installed when we update our system : # echo ">=media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.14" >> /etc/portage/package.mask -> And we load the new module(s). Here, with my snd-hda-intel : # modprobe snd-hda-intel And there we are :) We can then run slmodemd and wvdial as normal. Hope that helps someone :) I've attached my modemData.txt, generated with the 2.6.18 kernel.

ALSAversion 1.0.13
8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
The VendorID 0x10573055 softmodem chip is in principle supported by the snd-hda-intel driver
included within the ALSA audio+modem driver set. However recognition of 0x10573055 first begins with ALSA version 1.0.13. There are instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its
dependent driver set at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html
The ? in the device designation in hw:0,? will be manifest after the driver update.
Typically ? is in the range of 0-6 .
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1b.0
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8
Subsystem PCI_id 1043:1123
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: Si3054
from Archives:
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.
