Dear all, I have updated on of my home machines from fedora core 6 to fedora 8 and have installed slmodemd successfully :). Details here: http://www.geocities.com/olivares14031/slmodemd-fedora8.html output generated by scanModem not generated as su - only as regular user. Everything is working beautifully as expected.

Diagnostics are under the /proc/asound/ folders. For modems using the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, upgrades to a new ALSA version are sometimes necessary to achieve function. See for example: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02144.html. Audio cards with the ALC883 chipset may require an upgrade to ALSA version 1.0.15 for modem support, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02577.html ALSA update guidance is in http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAolivares.tgz ALSAversion = 1.0.15 Summary card and chipset information is in: /proc/asound/cards: 0 [A5451 ]: ALI5451 - ALI 5451 ALI 5451 at 0xd000, irq 12 /proc/asound/pcm: 00-00: ALI 5451 : ALI 5451 : playback 32 : capture 1 USB modem not detected by lsusb For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:0d.0 163c:3052 163c:3052 Modem: Smart Link Ltd.

Read the Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. For 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz Writing Smartlink.txt ============ end Smartlink section ===================== Completed candidate modem analyses. The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.1 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/build However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files, in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ . For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev If an alternate ethernet connection is available, $ apt-get update $ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel will install needed pacakage For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition, they can be installed alltogether with: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Checking pppd properties: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312332 2006-12-01 06:54 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options lock In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts should trouble shooting be necessary. ========================================================== Checking for modem support lines: -------------------------------------- /device/modem symbolic link: slmodemd created symbolic link /dev/ttySL0: Within /etc/udev/ files: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="mwave", NAME="modems/mwave", GROUP="uucp" Within /etc/modprobe.conf files: Within any ancient /etc/devfs files: Within ancient kernel 2.4.n /etc/module.conf files: --------- end modem support lines -------- http://www.geocities.com/olivares14031/slmodemd-fedora8.html
