[Fwd: Re: Compiling ALSA competent slmodemd]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,

I have the slmodemd (for the kernel ernel 2.6.20-16-generic) and it
was compiled correctly with ALSA support and copied over /usr/sbin/ (after the chown command done).

Then I ran: sudo /usr/sbin/slmodemd -c BRAZIL --alsa hw:0,6 and the output was:

SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 May 29 2007 13:36:31
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

So it worked!

Thereafter I did on a terminal ' sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf' and the modem was configured. I also added some test data in the phone, login and pwd fields. However, running 'sudo wvdial' returns an error:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
---> Sending: ATDT<32565298>
---> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT<32565298>
NO CARRIER
ERROR
--> No Carrier!  Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT<32565298>
--> Waiting for carrier.

And loops on forever. Note that I have added a 'Carrier Check = no' to wvdial.conf and 32565298 is real phone number where I can hear the modem calling in. It also says it couldn't get the serial port info...is this critical?

On the terminal I'm getting the error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)!!

I also need to make the modem load on startup and be available to other users besides the root.

Thanks,

Rubens Oliveira

Rubin,

The default compilation of slmodemd does NOT include ALSA modem driver
support, as slmodemd was intially written to support the Smartlink
slamr.ko  driver.
Libasound code and NOT the kernel-version dependent linux-headers are
used to compile slmodemd.  Thus multiple kernels can be served by the
same "slmodemd",
though matching of ALSA versions is desirable.  Thus to minimize the
need for others to compile, I have been providing the
SLMODEMD-version.tar.gz packages

1) For ALSA modem driver support, there was be installed additionally:
------
$ apt-cache show libasound2-dev
Package: libasound2-dev
Priority: optional
Section: libdevel
Installed-Size: 1816
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Original-Maintainer: Debian ALSA Maintainers
<pkg-alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Architecture: i386
****
Source: alsa-lib
Description: ALSA library development files
This package contains files required for developing software
that makes use of libasound2, the ALSA library.
------------
This package has other names for other Distros and its code is used
during the slmodemd compile.

2) from the README
   3. Build application 'slmodemd' with ALSA support. For this in
slmodem-2.9.x dir:
     $ cd modem
     $ make SUPPORT_ALSA=1

3) So below is an example compile.
Afterward

4)
$  sudo  chown  root:root  slmodemd
$  sudo cp slmodemd  /usr/sbin/
and slmodemd is on root's  COMMAND path.

The ungrab-winmodem will likely do no harm, but is not needed with HDA
card modems.

The standard compile does NOT produce a slmodemd with ALSA support.
As instructed in the README
The slmodemd compile must be done within the modem/  folder, and not
the base folder to get ALSA support

It will be easier if you use the slmodemd I have prepared for 2.6.20-16-generic

 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
       $ tar zxf SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz
etc.
