Mandriva Linux release 2007.1 (Cooker) for i586
Kernel 2.6.17-13mdv on an i686 /
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.17-13mdv
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not present
USB modem not detected.
For Mandrake/Mandiva 9.1 later, installation of the pciutils.rpm package providing lspci is necessary.
The installed utility lspcidrake is NOT an adequate alternate for scanModem support.

complemented by the SmartLink slmodemd.
== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
SmartLink at http://www.smlink.com/ owns vendor IDs 163c, 2000, 2003, and 2004
The official download site is: http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40
But a more recent code and a much broader license for other chipset support,
can be downloaded from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
Though not always needed, download the files:
slmodem-CurrentVersion.tar.gz - provides the most general code package.
SLMODEMD.gcc4 - provides a compiled slmodemd
ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz - may be needed for usage with slamr.
Details on their usage are in Slmodem.txt, Slmodem-ALSA.txt and
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/slmodem-serial.html

There is an active UDEV file system, creating device nodes in volatile RAM.
For SmartLink modems using the slamr.ko or slusb.ko drivers an /etc/init.d/ script
will be necessary to create /dev/slamr0 or /dev/slusb0 ports, or manually by:
# mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0
# mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0
upon each bootup.
For information on modem port creation under the UDEV device file system see:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03299.html for Conexnant modems
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg01177.html for Lucent/Agere DSP modems

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compressed resources are present, expand and then configure them following DriverCompiling.txt
They may have to be installed.
Within your Linux distributions' installation CD or online resource (and mirrows), search for :
Distribution PackageName OnLine
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian kernel-headers-2.6.17-13mdv http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages or install CD
Ubuntu linux-headers-2.6.17-13mdv http://http://packages.ubuntu.com/ or install CD
Xandros
kernel-kbuild-3.6 are additionally required by Debian, Ubuntu and Xandros
Mandrake kernel-source-2.6.17-13mdv If not present on install CDs search
http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/mandrake/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/
http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/mandrake/official/LByName.html, or other mirrors.
SuSE kernel-source-2.6.17-13mdv , kernels are named k_deflt
FedoraCore4 kernel-devel-2.6.17-13mdv or kernel-smp-devel-2.6.17-13mdv on install CD1 or CD4
One of which must be installed if compiling drivers to match kernel 2.6.17-13mdv proves necessary.
Within the output Modem/ folder, read CompilingDrivers.txt for details.
Wvdial is a dialout utility very useful for modem testing. If not encluded on
your installation media, check your distrbutions on line software repository.
An example is: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg01480.html
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.
The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.

The following ppp related modules are likely unpacked during loading.
If not they should be unpacked by root with:
# gunzip PathTo/ModuleName.ko.gz
/boot/config
/boot/config-2.6.17-13mdv
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/bsd_comp.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_async.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_generic.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/slhc.ko.gz

/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.ko.gz
On most Systems, unpacking will driven by installing the wvdial.rpm
and/or the package providing the KPPP graphical dialing interface.
COMM services are not active
Be sure to read the section about ppp related modules and aliases in Modem/YourSystem.txt

pppd version 2.4.2 may not be fully compatible with 2.6.8 kernel releases.
If an initial CONNECT is achieved without PPP being subsequently established,
drop back to a 2.4.1 version. This has worked for PCTEL AMR modem users,
supported by the http://www.smlink.com slmodem software.
Check pppd version with:
pppd --version
