It is the recommended way to do things, since there are others on the
list that might have encountered your problem and have a solution that
you can try out.
There is a conflict with the sound drivers :(
<direct from scanModem>
The snd-trident driver is not fully compatible with slmodemd support.
The may be errors written to /var/log/messages like:
codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x1300]
Check with:
$ dmesg | grep semaphore
A potential work around is to unload drivers:
# modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
# modprobe -r snd-intel8x0
# modprobe -r snd-trident
Then reload only:
# modprobe snd-intel8x0
# modprobe snd-intel8x0m
and test the modem.
If snd-trident cannot be unloaded, it may be necessary to disable it by:
# cd /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/sound/pci/trident/
# mv snd-trident.ko snd-trident.ko~
After a reboot, verify that the driver is not loaded. It should NOT be
disaplayed by:
$ lsmod | grep snd-trident.
Once a success with the modem has been obtained, the setup can be made easier by
adding to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (or equivalent on your System)
blacklist snd_intel8x0m
blacklist snd_trident
and to /etc/modules
snd_intel8x0
snd_intel8x0m
</direct quote from scanModem>
Please try the above instructions and hopefully you can get connected.
Report back if this solved your problem.
Regards,
Antonio
