I followed Jacques advice. I downloaded this driver (the Smartlink last
version):
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz
I unpacked it in my home and compiled it in ALSA mode:
$ make SUPPORT_ALSA=1

Because I still have installed the pre-compiled Smartlink drivers (that
gives me the problems reported in my older posts --- I'll paste them at
the end of the message) I made:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon stop
and then, to start the daemon in ALSA mode, I went in the "modem"
subdirectory and made some attempts:
$ sudo ./slmodemd -s -c ITALY --alsa hw:0,1
error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'hw:0,1': No such file or
directory
error: cannot setup device `hw:0,1'
$ sudo ./slmodemd -s -c ITALY --alsa hw:0,6
error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'hw:0,6': No such file or
directory
error: cannot setup device `hw:0,6'
the only that gave me a positive (I guess) answer is:
$ sudo ./slmodemd -s -c ITALY --alsa hw:0,0
[sudo] password for emanuele:
error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0

this is and endless loop that I must stop with Ctrl+c. In the other
console, still waiting, appear a lot of lines like these:
error: cannot set channels for playback: Invalid argument
Am I doing something wrong?
My wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
ISDN = 0
Carrier Check = no
; Stupid Mode = yes
Phone = 0802201400
Password = *******************************
Username = *******************************
What should I do? Should I keep searching for a correct Init2 string
with the pre-compiled Smartlink drives or should I "correct" this ALSA
mode attempt? I tried also to compile and run slmodem in native mode,
but I gave the same results of the pre-compiled drivers.
Thank you for your patience. Bye.
Emanuele

Emanuele,
If you have not changed your DEVICE from slamr0 to hw:something, then
you are running slmodem in native, not ALSA, mode.
SmartLink full compatibility is not surprising for the Netodragon.
In such a case however you better try with the most recent version
2.9.11 of the SmartLink driver at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/smartlink
To the best of my knowledge, though, it has not been tested with your
very recent kernel.
From the README file you will see that you can compile the driver in
native or in ALSA modem.
We definitely recommend the ALSA mode, which is what you have actually
installed but possibly improperly configured and tested.

Hello,
searching over the internet, I found an older driver (you can find it in
attachment) that *seems* to work with my Netodragon softmodem (at least,
this is what I read). Could be of any use to give it a try?
If the answer is yes, should I remove the driver now installed or can I
keep the two driver installed side by side? If I must uninstall the
driver now present on my machine, what procedure should I follow?
Thank you, bye.
Emanuele
