Hello
This is an openSUSE 10.3 installation on a new Toshiba X200-LC3
laptop. First thing was to kill the installed Vista, even before
checking the hardware modules, so there is no previous information on
modems.
Out of the shelf the modem did not work:
/etc/init.d/slmodemd restart
Shutting down SmartLink Modem driver: Starting SmartLink Modem driver:
startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/slmodemd: 255
So I did install the smartlinnk-softmodem-kmpdefault and got the
/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31
-default/updates/slusb.ko
Still did not work, so I followed the instructions on
/usr/share/doc/packages/smartlink-softmodem except for the
in '/etc/sysconfig/kernel' add <your_modem_driver> to
'MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT' because the lsmod already gave snd_hda_intel
the slamr.ko is not there ( as I understood, it is not GPL and tha
alsa driver would be a substitute, is that correct? )
Below you can find the ModemData.txt file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel

4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC
scanModem update of: 2008_01_01
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> /dev/ttySL0
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support,
also includes drivers for some modems. The ALSA diagnostics are written during
bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.14
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.1
linux-headers-2.6.22.5-31-default resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.22.5-31-default
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
