For your 2.6.22-14-generic kernel. Get fromhttp://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ the[ ] slamr-2.6.22-14-generic.tar.gzIt will install pre-compiled drivers. Under Linux do:$ tar zxf slamr*.tar.gz$ cd slamr-2.6.22-14-genericBrowse the files and run the$ sudo ./setup There will be warnings, but ignoreSend me the output. Reboot, to check if the install scripts created ran the slmodemdsetup with creation of ports.Check with:$ ls -l /dev/slamr0 /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/*$ dmesg | grep slamr$ lsmod | grep ungrab$ lsmod | grep slamr MarvS On Jan 1, 2008 4:14 PM, Danilo Cipriano <danilo.cipriano@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:>>>>> Hi Marvin,>> doesn't work with> "hsfmodem_7.68.00.04full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb" (see output> kern.log):>>>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.420000] hsfengine: module> license 'see LICENSE file distributed with driver' taints kernel.>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.556000] hsfmc97ali: serial> driver grabbed our device (0000:00:08.0), reclaiming it..>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.652000] ACPI: PCI interrupt> for device 0000:00:08.0 disabled>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.656000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt> 0000:00:08.0[A] -> Link [LNKG] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.772000] HSF: ERROR: SILICON> Laboratories or LUCENT AC97 modem detected!<3>>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.772000] HSF: ERROR: This> driver only supports CONEXANT devices<3>>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.772000] HSF: ERROR: not a> Conexant modem<3>>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.804000]> cnxthsf_cnxt_serial_add: ComCtrlOpen failed (2049)>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.804000] ACPI: PCI interrupt> for device 0000:00:08.0 disabled>> Jan 1 21:21:27 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.804000] hsfmc97ali: probe of> 0000:00:08.0 failed with error -5>> Jan 1 21:21:28 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1584.852000] usbcore: registered> new interface driver hsfusbcd2>> Jan 1 21:22:57 cipriano-laptop kernel: [ 1673.868000] usbcore:> deregistering interface driver hsfusbcd2>>>>>> very strange; I haven't any idea>> Danilo>>>>>>>>>> -----Messaggio originale-----> Da: Marvin Stodolsky [mailto:marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx]> Inviato: domenica 30 dicembre 2007 21.19> A: Danilo Cipriano> Oggetto: Re: R: Cipriano Danilo, Italy, Kernel 2.6.22-14 (Ubuntu 7.10)>>>> Danilo,>>>> Did you test the driver?
