Liam,
For
Class 0703: 1057:3052 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem
Primary PCI_id 1057:3052
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
------------
Proceed as follows.
1) Go ahead and do the update of the sl-modem-daemon package.
But this will install an older version 2.9.9e slmodemd, in addition to
the desired update of the automation scripts.
2) Rerun my setup in the slamr-2.6.22-14-generic. This will replace
the 2.9.9e with the desired version 2.9.11 slmodemd. Then you will
again have to
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
read the wvdial.txt for guidance
3) Rather than using the GnomePPP frontend to wvdial, Use wvdial
itself for testing purposes.
In particular a line
Carrier Check = no
is needed in the modem config file for usage of the of the true modem
port /dev/pts/N , which is pointed to by the symbolic link
/dev/ttySL0. GnomePPP uses its own config file, not /etc/wvdial.conf
Once you have functionality with wvdial you can try switching over to
GnomePPP. I am not under Linux now, and hence can't give you the
filename to which
Carrier Check = no
should be added for GnomePPP usage
The sl-modem-daemon bootup scripts will do the modem setup, that is
the equivalent of 3 manual commands:
$ sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodem
$ sudo modprobe slamr
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0
so that once /etc/wvdial.conf is correctly edited with
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
You should be able to dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial
Note that you can still manually do:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon stop ( or start or restart)
