Jacques:
Thanks a lot for your help, I'm already writing you from my Evolution ;)
I followed the instructions in ModemData.txt (the file is attached to
this mail) and they were all OK, but had to do something else:
I followed the instructions but my kppp didn't find the modem until i
made
/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart
Later I saw that restarting the PC is an alternative method for Ubuntu
to catch the modem after all the explanation at ModemData.txt, anyway,
both methods are not in the text and it might be a little tricky for
those newbies (as I am ;) )
Well, thanks a lot for your help, your are the best guys!!!!

Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server,
as HTML can contain viruses. Use as the email Subject Line:
YourName, YourCountry kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Your contry's local Linux experts
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

Primary PCI_id 1057:3052
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
----------------end Softmodem section --------------
1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself
However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!!
It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by the Smartlink slamr driver.
There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr, which must have 1057:3052
similarly added. See messages from Zello:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html
and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html
For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the Smartlink.txt
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Download slamr-2.6.22-14-generic.tar.gz from http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with:
$ tar zxvf slamr*.tar.gz
Move into the unpacked folder
$ cd slamr-2.6.22-14-generic
Look around
$ ls
Run the
$ sudo ./setup
Afterwards do:
$ slmodemd --help
$ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein.
Do and edit with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and therein replace the USA in the line:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
This will provide for the correct Country setting in the automated:
slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0
Read the Smartlink.txt and YourSystem.txt

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
