Thanks to all of you for helping me solve this problem.
I had tried Marvin's patched file, thanks Martin, but with same result.
Maybe I'm missing something in user space part. Detachment part cames
after starting martian userspace service.
dmesg|tail -f
-------
....
martian loaded - KMARTIAN_STAMP
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:0a.0[A] -> Link [APC3] -> GSI 18 (level,
low) -> IRQ 18
"martian_dev": added device 11c1:440 BaseAddress = 0xa400, CommAddres =
0xa000, irq = 18
....
Till this moment everything looks good except IRQ serving part missing,
but if not wrong that part should go after starting user space app, so:
/etc/init.d/martian start
I'm getting
"martian_dev": martian_modem is detached
and from /var/log/messages:
Mar 14 22:37:32 galatea martian: error: Common area unrecognized, no
terminating signature
--------
Antonio, thanks for suggestion. I'm going to try scanmodem part. Well,
certainly before Monday ;)
Thanks to all you kind people for helping.
