Nitin,
Did you add modprobe ungrab-winmodem, and modprobe slamr in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/slmodemd
start() {
modprobe ungrab-winmodem <--- this
modprobe slamr <---- this
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
}
start
{
}
procedure.
Did you add the line [1] into modprobe.conf?
[1]
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)
As a single line., if that does not work, you can add before
modprobe ungrab-winmodem
modprobe slamr
the following, if you added [1] as root su -, as a single line..
The following creates the /dev/slamr0 every time, if you add it into
/etc/rc.d/init.d/slmodemd after start procedure
start() {
if ! [[ -e $SLMODEMD_DEVICE ]] &> /dev/null; then
{
echo -n "Creating devices ..."
mkdir -p /dev
mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 ; mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr1 c 242 1 ;
mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr2 c 242 2 ; mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr3 c 242 3 ;
echo -n
mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0 ; mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb1 c 243 1 ;
mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb2 c 243 2 ; mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb3 c 243 3 ;
echo -n ||
{
echo "failed."
exit -1
}
}
fi
modprobe ungrab-winmodem <--- this
modprobe slamr <---- this
...
} /* end of start() procedure */
If you did everything suggested, please send the output of
# chkconfig slmodemd --list
to us, we can do our best to fix this so you won't have to compile and
install everytime.
Regards,
Antonio
