Jose, Please subscibe to the List at www.linmodems.org and email to the List rather than direct to me, as I am only on line irregularly. The node /dev/slamr0 is not automatically made, until automation is set, and does not survive reboot. So maually do: $ su - root # mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 before # modprobe ungrab-winmodem # modprobe slamr There can be added to any file in /etc/modprobe.d/ or /etc/modprobe.conf (which is used in PCLinuxOS ) as a SINGLE line (herein folded): install slamr modprobe --ignore-install ungrab-winmodem ; modprobe --ignore-install slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) This will do all of the above upon # modprobe slamr After which # slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0 should succeed. Please read the Smartlink.txt in detail MarvS On Jan 3, 2008 11:04 AM, Jose Valtierrez <josevs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Marvin Stodolsky wrote: > > Jose > > > > THis is the guidance for your modem > > ---------------------------- > > For 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 compiling drivers is necessary.
