Re: Amos - Italy:SIS AC 97 modem

Amos,

sudo lsmod | grep snd-intel
will show you that snd-intel8x0m is loaded and also which other module(s) is/are using it. If you first rmmod the one(s) which uses snd-intel8x0m, you will be able to remove snd-intel8x0m

If you are not sure about what removing other modules can cause, send us the file amos.txt created by command sudo lsmod > amos.txt
and we will advise you.

I followed your instruction, I mean
1) stop wvdial (Ctrl+C)
2) stop slmodemd(Ctrl+C in its start control: #slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa modem:1)
3) stop snd-intel8x0m (#sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m)
4) # ifconfig

# sudo ifconfig eth0 down

Problem remain still the same, I don't get to stop snd-intel8x0m, I get still same messagge:
FATAL:module snd_intel8x0m is in use

May problem is snd-intel8x0m driver?

Is there other solution?

Amos

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.

I tried with

but I get:

Amos,
When you get flaky behavior with the modem,
stop wvdial if necessary
stop slmodemd with
  Ctrl-C
unload the driver
$ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
reload the driver
$ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
and retest the modem.

Our experience is that sometimes these drivers do lost function after
a while when loaded.

Many thanks for your reply.
I don't know why is not working at all, this is very strange...
Now problem is that after #wvdial I get
.............
ATDT7020187187
--> Timed out while dialing.  Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT7020187187
--> Waiting for carrier.
and so on without getting any connection

I start from wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 +MS=34
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 7020187187
ISDN = 0
Username = telecom
Password = telecom
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
#New PPPD = yes
Carrier Check = no
SetVolume = 1
Stupid mode = yes
Auto DNS = yes
#Dial Command = ATDT

[Dialer 2nd]
Username = amosse@xxxxxxxxx
Password = bomba
Phone = 0571861010

It semms to be OK?, only some questions:

Looking on the web I find some examples with Dial Command, is it important to put it? If yes what value?
In any case I tried both with and without no changes:

Yesterday during my succesfull trial sometimes I did't start
slmodemd in the normal way:
# slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa modem:1
because I have set up slmodemd in "Editor runlevel" on yes, in this way I think service start automatically, but I don't know if with alsa support...
I have to inizialize slmodemd service as above or leave it autoload with runlevel?

I try both providers same problem as above said.

This is very strange behaviour, what I have to check ...??


Thanks
Amos

ps: do you have some wvdial.conf tutorial to suggest me in order to understand meaning of the set up.


Amos,

Good progress!!
Note X3 is in Init2.  For Init1 use
Init1 = ATZ
RE:  is it right to set up wvdial.conf in this way in order to connect
to 2 different provider? (I try telecom connection dialing # wvdial
2nd)
--------
Yes,  but you could simplify as, the "wvdial 2nd"  will reference the
default, for any missing lines. So if would suffice to use format:

[Dialer default]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 +MS=90
#  +MS=34    might provide a longer CONNECT
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 0571861010
ISDN = 0
Username = amosse@xxxxxxxxx
Password = zzzzzzzz
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Carrier Check = no
SetVolume = 1
Stupid mode = yes
Auto DNS = yes

[Dialer 2nd]
Phone = 7020187187
Username = telecom
Password = telecom
