Cristea, Under 2.6.22.16-0.2-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux) Your USB modem 0483:7554 SGS Thomson Microelectronics 56k SoftModem should be supported. 0483:7554 us a Smartlink chip and we have supporting code. There are two major components involved in the support, with resources at http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/. For the driver, get the slusb64bit.txt for info and the slusb.ko driver module will be compiled and installed using the resource slusb64bit-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz To automate port creation, make a file named /etc/modprobe.d/slusb with all of the following on a SINGLE line: install slusb modprobe --ignore-install slusb ; test -e /dev/slusb0 || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp uucp /dev/slusb0) Upon loading slusb.ko , it creates the needed /dev/slusb0 Most of the COMM capability is in a non-driver slmodemd whose assembly involved an 32 bit encrypted component. The 32 bit versions of libasound2 (or similar SuSE package) files MUST be installed to support it. An already compiled slmodemd is available in the SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz which also contains diverse guidance. From within the unpacked SLMODEMD.gcc4.2 folder: $ su root # cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd # chmod +x /usr/sbin/slmodemd Then do some familiarization with: slmodemd --help slmodemd --countrylist Activate the modem with: # modprobe slusb # slmodemd -c ROMANIA /dev/slusb0 which should report port creation: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/SomeNumber slmodemd must be left running during a modem session. Open a 2nd console. # su - root # mv /etc/wvdial.conf /etc/wvdial.conf.0 to back up any existing file. Then the modem should be found by: # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Read the wvdial.txt for guidance on editing the /etc/wvdial.conf When done, you should be able to dialout with # wvdial MarvS On Feb 9, 2008 5:36 AM, Cristea Bogdan <cristeab@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Could someone tell me what I need to install my USB softmodem?
