I have downloaded the files and compiled the modules but the driver fails to initiate the modem. dmesg | grep slamr [ 32.013661] slamr: module license 'Smart Link Ltd.' taints kernel. [ 32.021506] slamr: SmartLink AMRMO modem. [ 32.199517] slamr: probe 134d:2189 SL1900 card... [ 33.247528] slamr: cannot init card. I have serched this list and found one mail from Sasha suggesting to remove the module slamr and load it with: sudo modprobe slamr debug=4 but the result is same. Regards. K.
