Muntasir,

This is the section of the output appropriate to your PCtel modem,
which I have slightly clarified
============

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  06:00.0
  Class 0703: 134d:2189 Modem: PCTel Inc HSP56 MicroModem
     Primary PCI_id  134d:2189
 Support type needed or chipset:     ungrab-winmodem +  slamr


 134d:2189  is a PCTel HSP56 MicroModem 688T modem with the Oasis chipset.
 Under 2.6.n kernels, it is only supported through the Smartlink
slamr.ko driver module, plus ungrab-winmodem.ko

 Read the Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

 Download slamr-2.6.20-15-generic.tar.gz from
http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
It contains already compiled driver modules:  ungrab-winmodem.ko +  slamr.ko
 Under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with:
 $ tar zxvf slamr*.tar.gz
 Move into the unpacked folder
 $ cd slamr-2.6.20-15-generic
 Look around
 $ ls
 Run the
 $  sudo ./setup

 Afterwards do:
 $ slmodemd --help
 $ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
which captures the output in Clist.txt
Look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein.
 Do and edit with:
 $ sudo gedit  /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
 and therein replace the USA in the line:
 SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
 This will provide for the correct Country setting in the
   slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0
which will automatically run upon bootup,
creating needed ports
   /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N    , N some number

 Read the Smartlink.txt and YourSystem.txt
==============
For initial testing purposes, don't change  /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
That can be done once your modem is recognized properly by the software.

Not being under Linux currently, I can't check whether the output of
 $ slmodemd --countrylist
will include BANGLADESH in the second column
If not, from http://www.linux.org/groups/bangladesh.html
get guidance on which hexadecimal modem Country Code is used in your
area/Bangladesh
Find that country code in the left most column of Clist.txt
Then you can use that CountryName, to replace the USA in
 SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA

Report back to the List (not me directly) presently.
