Jose, for a working example you may look here for automation http://www20.brinkster.com/olivares/slmodemd-setup-1.html I did not update it for Fedora 7/8 but it works the same, you can add the line that Marv told you to /etc/modprobe.conf as su -(Super User), then also # cp slmodem-2.9.11-20080417/scripts/slmodemd /etc/rc.d/init.d/ # cd /etc/rc.d/init.d/ [root@localhost init.d]# chmod +x slmodemd [root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig slmodemd --add [root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig slmodemd on Should take care of it. You might need the lines modprobe ungrab-winmodem modprobe slamr in start procedure in the case that upon startup you see ``slmodemd dead but subsys locked'' message start() { modprobe ungrab-winmodem modprobe slamr echo -n "Starting SmartLink Modem driver for $SLMODEMD_DEVICE: " $prog /dev/null 2>/dev/null \ --country=$SLMODEMD_COUNTRY $SLMODEMD_OPTS /dev/$SLMODEMD_DEVICE & RETVAL=$? [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && success $"$prog startup" || failure $"$prog startup" echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$prog return $RETVAL } Regards, Antonio --- Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Jose, > > Read through the Smartlink.txt > Until you implement the automation, the /dev/slamr0 > must be manually > made upon reboot. > $ su root > # mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 > > You can automate by adding the following SINGLE line > (folded in email) > somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d/ files: > > install slamr modprobe --ignore-install > ungrab-winmodem ; modprobe > --ignore-install slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 || > (/bin/mknod -m 660 > /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp uucp > /dev/slamr0) > > There after > # modprobe slamr > will do all > > MarvS > > On Sun, May 4, 2008 at 7:56 PM, Jose Fernando de > Jesus > <jfernando@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi Antonio, > > I downloaded the kernel-devel and I was able to > compile now both > > ungrab-winmodem and slmodem, and I had the port > working, and I was able to dial. > > But after I rebooted to get the right dialer > phone number, I lost the > > /dev/ttySL0 device, and I had the following > error: > > > > [root@bunitinhu ~]# modprobe ungrab-winmodem > > [root@bunitinhu ~]# modprobe slamr > > [root@bunitinhu ~]# slmodemd -c BRAZIL > /dev/slamr0 > > error: mdm setup: cannot stat `/dev/slamr0': No > such file or directory > > error: cannot setup device `/dev/slamr0' > > > > Although there is a 'slamr0' on /dev.
