Gerado, Also do an edit within /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, changinh blacklist snd-via82xx-modem to # blacklist snd-via82xx-modem so that this needed low level modem driver will be loaded upon bootup. After bootup it can also be manually loaded by. $ su - root # modprobe snd-via82xx-modem Sometimes this driver must be unloaded if there is a modem interrupt # modprobe -r snd-via82xx-modem and then reloaded # modprobe snd-via82xx-modem to recover modem function without rebooting.
