RE: [  128.172292] slamr: SmartLink AMRMO modem.
[  128.172535] slamr: probe 8086:24c6 ICH4 card...
[  128.175251] slamr: mc97 codec is SIL27
[  128.175340] slamr: slamr0 is ICH4 card.


While slamr is doing a good diagnostic, the
mc97 codec is SIL27
reveals that slamr is the wrong driver.

Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97
Modem Controller should be support by the driver snd-inte8x0m plus an
ALSA competent slmodemd.  For this testing phase remove the
sl-modem-daemon package, as it will confuse issues:
$ sudo apt-get remove  sl-modem-daemon

Rather, download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
        $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup commands:
$  sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
$   sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --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.

There may be a problem with
-------------------
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
 10:    1469276    XT-PIC-XT        uhci_hcd:usb1, ohci1394, ICH4,
Intel 82801DB-ICH4, eth0, radeon@pci:0000:01:00.0
----------------------
in that the sharing seems to be failing, in particular the
radeon@pci:0000:01:00.0 indicates a dominant hold by the video card.
Detaching non-essential USB devices and
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
might relieve competition

Read the Bootup. txt about possible cures. Additionally, we have a
report about a modem success under Mandriva whereas the same System
under Ubuntu had problems.

RE The error message "lsmod utility not found!"
is wrong as I am currently using it.

Yes this is a bug I'll fix tonight
