MP sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d-6ubuntu1_i386.deb should have installed a configuration file to /etc/default/ named sl-modem-daemon or similar (the name may have changed). Do an edit like $ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon change the lines: SLMODEMD_DEVICE=auto SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA to SLMODEMD_DEVICE=/dev/slamr0 SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=CANADA There should also be a file: /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem-daemon.modutils whose 3rd install line is folded in this email: ---- alias char-major-243 slusb alias char-major-242 slamr install slamr modprobe --ignore-install ungrab-winmodem ; modprobe --ignore-ins tall slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev /null && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) Its role is to 1) load ungrab-winmodem before slamr which will stop the problem: error: mdm setup: cannot stat `/dev/slamr0': No such file or directory 2) concurrently creat /dev/slamr0 The ./setup only had to be done once. When your reboot do: $ lsmod | grep ungrab which should display: ungrab-winmodem $ lsmod | grep slamr which should display: slamr Ports should be created during bootup. Check with: $ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/* /dev/slamr0 If all is well there should be included /dev/slamr0 and a symbolic iink /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , N a number If these are there, you can $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf which should fine the modem. If so: Follow wvdial.txt in an edit $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf after which you should be able to dialout with: $ sudo wvdial The wild card is that the slamr driver was written for the 10b9:5459 modem card and its success with the 10b9:5457 is variable.
