Hello,
I need some help getting my modem working again. I had it previously
working on Linux From Scratch with a 2.6.16 kernel about a year and a
half ago. Now I am using Gentoo with a 2.6.22-suspend2 kernel and am
getting a NO CARRIER error when trying to dial out with wvdial or
kppp. I am using the precompiled SLMODEMD.gcc4.1. I run slmodemd
--alsa hw:0,6 and get:
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 6 2007 22:02:27
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
I start wvdial and get:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT2260082
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT2260082
NO CARRIER
...(more info comes out but I'm not at home to actually copy and paste
the rest of it)
No errors come out on the terminal where I run slmodemd. Any idea
whats going on? Here's my wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Carrier Check = no
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = XXX
ISDN = 0
Password = XXX
Username = XXX
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Of course for phone #, username and password I am using real info. I
also tried with Stupid Mode = on but still get NO CARRIER. Here's my

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
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:

residing on the HDA card subsystem
However all such cards are not yet supported.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-suspend2-r2/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed
in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and
for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of
package libc6 are commonly installed by 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
Checking pppd properties:
-r-s--x--x 1 root root 264212 2007-11-13 21:54 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
lock
In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: bnep0 realtek tap0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
