Tomasz,
Adding some items to Antonio's guidance below.
1) [ 34.848000] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.6 to 64
------------
is OK. It means in the end, the kernel does enable the modem card
2) Among the modem drivers loaded, only the snd-intel8x0m is needed, so with
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem
to remove the # from the lines:
# blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
# blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
Then they will not load and this will save some resources, though they
should be harmless in any case. They are for other modem hardware.
3) The slmodemd set symbolic link is
/dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/0
shows the scripts from the sl-modem-daemon package are working.
But you need to set the Country properly. Change
SLMODEMD_DEVICE=auto
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
to
SLMODEMD_DEVICE=auto
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=NEW_ZEALAND
with
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
Then the boot up action will then be:
$ sudo slmodemd -c NEW_ZEALAND --alsa modem:1
while dynamically creating the
/dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/0
4) With the SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
move in
$ cd SLMODEMD.gcc4.1
Look around
$ ls
The slmodemd is more recent than than installed by the sl-modem-daemon
package. So
$ sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/slmodemd
Check the version:
$ slmodemd --version
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Jan 29 2008 08:33:21
---
yours should output the: version 2.9.11
Jan 29 2008 08:33:21 is just my compile date (now)
5) Then simplest to reboot. Afterwards
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
should fine the modem. If so, use
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
to put in your personal data and add the needed line
Carrier Check = no
Read the wvdial.txt for sample info.
Then try a dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial
