Good morning. I recently bought a Macbook and an Apple USB Modem. By a post found on the net (apple site), it should be a Motorola SM56 (a 56k modem). The operating system I'm using is Debian etch. On a mailing list someone said me that this chipset is supported by 2.9.11 of sl-modem. I've downloaded the slmodem-2.9.11-20070505. I've correctly installed it with Make and Make install as documentation say, and there's no problem. Then I tried to load the slusb[1] driver and everything was fine. But I can't make the slmodemd start correctly[2]. So I tried installing[3] the sl-modem-daemon package and it will discover the modem correctly but fail in something: for example try to link ttySL0 instead of slusb0. And when I try to reconfigure the daemon, it say that there's no sldaemon running[4]. Here[5] and extract of the dmesg when I (un)plug the usb modem. What can I do? Thanks in advance Davide 1. davide@unclescrooge:$ sudo modprobe slusb davide@unclescrooge:$ lsmod | grep slusb slusb 19044 0 2. davide@unclescrooge:$ sudo slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb0 error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb0': No such device error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb0' davide@unclescrooge:$ sudo slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb1 error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb1': No such device error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb1' davide@unclescrooge:$ sudo slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb2 error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb2': No such device error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb2' davide@unclescrooge:$ sudo slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb3 error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb3': No such device error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb3' davide@unclescrooge:$ ls -l /dev/slusb* crw------- 1 root root 243, 0 2007-06-18 22:39 /dev/slusb0 crw------- 1 root root 243, 1 2007-06-18 22:39 /dev/slusb1 crw------- 1 root root 243, 2 2007-06-18 22:39 /dev/slusb2 crw------- 1 root root 243, 3 2007-06-18 22:39 /dev/slusb3 3. $ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/sl-modem-daemon_2.9.9d+e-pre2-7etch2_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package sl-modem-daemon.
