Advanced users,
Please note this approach to achieve enablement of PCI cards,
particular modems, which are disabled during default bootup
conditions.
Edison,
The blacklisting was clearly successful as the ALSA tools are now
perceiving the modem.
Follow
-----------
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
-----------
to finish support!!
If desirable you can relieve modules from the blacklist one-at-a-time,
to see which one(s) were responsible for the resource conflict with
the modem. Just put # at the start of the line with the module to be
released.
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.edison
Containing the following lines. Lines beginning with # are comments
blacklist bluetooth
# parallel port
blacklist parport
# ethernet & wireless support of 8139cp,8139too
blacklist mii
# wbsd driver Win Bond media card support
blacklist mmc_core
blacklist firewire_core
blacklist ehci_hcd
blacklist slamr
## end blacklist.edison
Note that even blacklisted modules can be later installed after bootup with:
# modprobe ModuleName
