Josef,
Class 0703: 8086:24d6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER
Primary PCI_id 8086:24d6
can host several alternate modem chips in the Subsytem
Subsystem PCI_id 1558:0800
has codec SIL22, a Smartlink type.
The modem driver is the snd-intel8x0m, but most of the COMM brains is
provided by a slmodemd utililty acting through it
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Mandiva Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with commands:
$ su - root
# slmodemd -c SOUTHAFRICA --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
