Hi Eugenio, You need alsa 1.0.14, thats on kernel 2.6.22. To install slmodem I did: install libasound2-dev sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev download http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz decompress it with: tar xzvf slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz enter the created dir: cd slmodem-2.9.11-20070813/ edit modem/Makefile gedit modem/Makefile at line 34 change from: #SUPPORT_ALSA:=1 to SUPPORT_ALSA:=1 save the file and close editor. edit modem/modem_main.c gedit modem/modem_main.c at line 382 change from: if ( rsize != size ) { to if ( rsize < size ) { sve the file and close editor. now compile with: make and install with: sudo make install load slamr kernel module: sudo modprobe slamr start slmodemd with: slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa hw:0,6 now use kppp or wvdial, I'm using kppp with two special strings, the first at Init 2: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 +MS=34 and this at "line not detected string" : ATX4 I've got this modem working fine on three diferent laptops. If you need to use a newer alsa driver you'll have problems with the modem, what sound card do you have? maybe I can help you on this too. Send me outputs from lspci and lspci -n Best Regards, Pablo Marcondes 2007/10/9, Eugenio PITTIONI <eugenio.pittioni@xxxxxxxx>: > Hi all, > > and sorry for the delay, > > Bad news, also with the kind informations of Pablo, my modem does't work, I've > also delete all the old kernels that I had, so now i've got only the last one > (2.6.22-13-generic), > With this new kernel my sound card doesn't work, I've tried to compile the new > alsa driver (1.0.15rc3) but I have some problem with the C compiler. > For these reasons my idea is now to wait for the stable release (18 October) > and try, with that, to make work the modem and the sound card. > > Eugenio >
