Jim,
There is a modem interrupt and sharing issue. relevant output here:
\begin{quote}
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
16: 810734 IO-APIC-fasteoi SL2800, radeon@pci:0000:01:00.0
--- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:08.0 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:08.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:08.0 disabled
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:08.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
The PCI slot 00:08.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.
\end{quote}
There are several related threads about smartlink here.
SL2800 with 2.6.20-1.2498.fc6
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg01650.html
some success - but mostly failure - with Smartlink drivers
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg01758.html
Please send dmesg text to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to troubleshoot this issue.
Regards,
Antonio
