Jose you can check out this page for guidance http://www.geocities.com/olivares14031/slmodemd-setup.html but essentially you need to do the following: download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the files ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz $ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20070813 $ make KERNEL_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/build if something fails you need to install kernel-devel package for 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 $ make $ su Password: # make install # cd ../ungrab-winmodem-20070505 # make # make install # exit $ su - Password: # modprobe ungrab-winmodem # modprobe slamr # slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0 open another terminal/terminal session become root su - # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.coinf should find your modem then edit /etc/wvdial.conf with correct username and password. Report back if you have trouble.
