some success - but mostly failure - with Smartlink drivers

Hi all,

I'm in the unusual position of having access to a lot of used winmodems, due 
to volunteering with some electronics reuse organizations, and I've recently 
started looking at modems that may be compatible with the Smartlink driver.  
I judged which ones might work by looking at the slamr code (specifically, 
amrmo_init.c).  There's a nice list in there defined in the amrmo_pci_tbl 
structure, and I decided to get some with matching PCI id's and try them.  
Here are the results:

1057:3052 (Motorola) works
10b9:5459 (Smartlink SL1800) initializes OK, but hangs system on dialing
11d4:1805 (Motorola on chip but lspci says Analog Devices) "cannot init card"
14e4:4212 (Broadcom) "cannot init card"

The Smartlink brand card system hang occurs on kernels ranging from 2.6.8 
(Debian Sarge) to 2.6.20 (Ubuntu Feisty) and on more than one such modem (I 
have two).

The two "cannot init card" failures give somewhat different output in the 
system log when I enable debug messages (with the debug= module parameter).  
11d4:1805 dies pretty quickly, complaining about "BaseAddress==0, can not 
initialize IOSpace".  The Broadcom card gets further, detecting a SiL3052 
chipset, revision three, and assuming a 32.768MHz crystal (which is wrong!) 
but failing "because DAA not ready".

I'd be interested in hearing from people who've tried any of this hardware and 
can report success (and, especially, the debug logs from the driver).

Thanks and regards,
Jeff Trull
