Davide, The service has been confirmed for the slamr.ko driver of a single PCI card Motorola chipset. It cannot be expected to extend to a USB modem using the slusb.ko driver. However, If you will send me the output of $ lsusb -v describing your modem, I'll write the minor code fix to slusb which would enable a proper test. MarvS On 6/19/07, Davide <dg@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
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?
