Hello,
I've been trying for the past days to get my PCTel
HSP56 modem to work under Debian Etch (stable). I've
downloaded the debian packages
sl-modem-source_2.9.9d+e-pre2-7etch2_i386.deb &
sl-modem-daemon_2.9.9d+e-pre2-7etch2_i386.deb
installed & build the drivers but I had the serial
driver picking the resources before the slamr driver.
Therefore I recompiled the kernel to remove all
possible drivers(serial, alsa ipx modem) to get psat
thios problem.
But I don't know if the driver is supporting this
card. I get an error in function ammro_enable_card ->
cannot init card.
below are scanmodem output, dmesg and extra debug
info.
Thanks for your help & time.

MicroModem
Primary PCI_id 134d:2189
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
134d:2189 is a PCTel HSP56 MicroModem 688T modem
with the Oasis chipset.
Under 2.6.n kernels, it is only supported through the
Smartlink slamr.ko driver.
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a
compiler is not installed
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed,
providing:
gcc-4.1 linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686
For Debian and some related distributions, a package
kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 may be needed to support driver
compiling
If a driver compilation files with message including
some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example.
Some additional kernel-header files need installation
to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the
following command to display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD,
others may have to be found through
http://packages.ubuntu.com
For Ubunut feisty, additional packages required were:
build-essential curl debhelper dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.1
gettext git-core gitk
html2text intltool-debian kernel-package kernel-wedge
libc6-dev
libcurl3-gnutls libdigest-sha1-perl liberror-perl
