Dear Antonio,
thank you very much. It works! The
# ifconfig eth0 down
seems to be necessary
Thank you again, Aldo

Dear Antonio,
thank you very much for your instructions. nevertheless, I was unable to
solve my problem. Could you help me again (I am a beginner)?
I did the following:
First I unpacked ungrab (in the /tmp directory) and made make and make
install with no error messages;
modprobe ungrab-winmodem generated in dmesg the two lines
device 1057:3052 is grabbed by driver serial: try to release
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:01:07.0 disabled
Nevertheless, I went on with unpacking slmodem, made make and among other
lines I got
modem_pack.c: In function 'modem_async_get_bits':
modem_pack.c:100: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of
'm->get_chars' differ in signedness
modem_pack.c: In function 'modem_async_put_bits':

....
WARNING: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses future GPL-only
symbol 'usb_deregister'
WARNING: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses future GPL-only
symbol 'usb_register_driver'
then I made make install and among other lines I got
WARNING: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses future GPL-only
symbol 'usb_deregister'
WARNING: modpost: GPL-incompatible module slusb.ko uses future GPL-only
symbol 'usb_register_driver'
then I made modprobe slamr and found in dmesg the lines
PPP generic driver version 2.4.2
NET: Registered protocol family 24
slamr: module license 'Smart Link Ltd.' taints kernel.
slamr: SmartLink AMRMO modem.
slamr: probe 1057:3052 SL1900 card...
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:07.0[A] -> Link [APC4] -> GSI 19 (level, low) ->
IRQ 21
slamr: slamr0 is SL1900 card.
then from /usr/sbin I launched slmodemd --country=USA /dev/slamr0, which
generated the message
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 May 13 2007 18:41:58
error: cannot create symbolink link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/2': File
exists
modem `slamr0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/2'
Use `/dev/pts/2' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
Here. Do not type Ctrl+C, instead open another terminal and fire up KPPP or
wvdial and try to connect to the internet. The hard job is done. One
little step and you will be there.
after make KERNEL_VER=/lib/modu...., make and make install for
slmodem-2.9.11-20070430.tar.gz and make make install for ungrab-winmodem
# modprobe ungrab-winmodem
# modprobe slamr
# slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slamr0
and you see
Use `/dev/pts/2' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
Open another terminal and fire up wvdial, and it will find your modem, or
KPPP and look for /dev/ttySL0 and put in as your device. Configure your
connection and you should connect successfully. You might have to run
# ifconfig eth0 down
if your connection does not work as well as it should.
Then I typed Ctrl+C. I launched again modprobe ungrab-winmodem, but
nothing changed.
I looked in /dev, and I saw that /ttySL0, /slamr0 and /pts exixt, with
/pts/0 and /pts/1,
but /pts/2 does not exist.
NOTE: I use Knoppix 5.1, live, from DVD. Is it perhaps a problem?
No, not a problem at all. I can connect with slax-linux-live cd and
everything works.
Thanks
Aldo Nocentini
Regards,
Antonio

Prof Aldo,
You can try the slmodem-2.9.11-20070430.tar.gz and
ungrab-winmodem-20070430.tar.gz and check to see if it will work for your
Motorola Modem.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.19
Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-2.6.19.tar.bz2 /usr/src/loop-aes.tar.bz2
/usr/src/madwifi.tar.bz2 /usr/src/ndiswrapper-source.tar.bz2
/usr/src/patch-2.6.19.1.bz2 /usr/src/rtai-source.tar.bz2
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 may
be needed to support driver compiling
