Folks, Does anyone know the Country_code for Uganda?? Anthony, Under Linux version 2.6.20-15-generic, the modem: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:1e.3 8086:266d 1179:0001 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW The modem driver snd-intel8x0m is already included with your driver modules, which must be assisted by slmodemd. Download if from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. HOWEVER, that will NOT work until this problem is eliminated: ============ Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:1e.3 ---- [ 16.533223] Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing [ 16.533983] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1e.3[B] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 16.533993] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1e.3 disabled ============ You can try the options presented in Bootup.txt After each one, rerun scanModem to check for enablement of the modem. Additionally, your interrupt data includes: --------- 16: 676 IO-APIC-fasteoi tifm_7xx1, Intel ICH6 17: 135450 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb4, yenta, i915@pci:0000:00:02.0 19: 2670 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb1, ehci_hcd:usb5 20: 12320 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb2, libata, sdhci:slot0, sdhci:slot1, sdhci:slot2 21: 1 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb3, ohci1394 22: 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 23: 1 IO-APIC-fasteoi ipw2200 ------- Among these ipw2200 is a wireless driver uhci_hcd and ohci1394 are for USB1 and USB2 support eth0 is an alias for your ethernet driver, which will be within the list output by $ lsmod Your could do an edit with: $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add lines blacklist ipw2200 blacklist Your_Ethernet_Driver blacklist ohci1394 blacklist snd-atiixp-modem blacklist snd-via82xx-modem blacklist uhci_hcd These lines prevent the drivers from loading during bootup and will free up resources, which may enable the modem card. blacklist uhci_hcd would kill support for a USB mouse do don't do this unless you can use a PS2 mouse Note that though blacklisted for bootup loading, they can be loaded by later by a command like: $ sudo modprobe ipw2200 MarvS scanModem maintainer On 10/4/07, Anthony Kalinaki <kanlinkan@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Somebody help > >
