RE:> FATAL: module snd_intel8x0m is in use First stop wvdial, or whatever dialer your are using. 2nd stop slmodemd in its start console with: Ctrl-C ONLY then $ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m Also stop other COMM channels before trying a dialout $ ifconfig to display. If eth0 is show $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down The lo "loopback" should be retained.
