Re: scanModem does not detect any modem on a HP nx7000 laptop with ubuntu gutsy

Sebek,

modem:0 (or hw:0)  is your audio card, while modem:1 (or hw:1) is the mode

Use:
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
to chamge
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
to
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=OMAN
also while testing set
DONTSTART=1
as you may have interference from those scripts.  slamr should not be
loaded as it may interfere
When the scripts are working properly, they run a slmodemd setup
during the bootup,
Thus the modem is activated.  But if slamr was used, the --alsa modem
is not set!!

Note that you can do:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon  stop (or start or restart)

The slmodemd installed by the sl-modem-daemon package.  It is
$ slmodemd --version
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.9e-pre1
------------

while you need the
$ slmodemd --version
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11
--------------
provided by the SLMODEMD package.
Copy the slmodemd from the SLMODEMD package to /usr/bin/slmodemd and
there should then be version 2.9.11
$ slmodemd --version
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11

CHeck these issues out.
