Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to install my winmodem. I learned from
scanModem that I probably need slmodemd (I attached ModemData.txt below). So
I installed it an loaded the driver with modprobe slusb. This seems to have
succeded as it says in dmesg:
[ 3783.200100] Symbol usb_register_driver is being used by a non-GPL module,
which will not be allowed in the future
[ 3783.200112] Please see the file Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
in the kernel source tree for more details.
[ 3783.200375] Symbol usb_deregister is being used by a non-GPL module, which
will not be allowed in the future
[ 3783.200378] Please see the file Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
in the kernel source tree for more details.
[ 3783.201378] ST7554 USB Modem.
[ 3783.201432] usbcore: registered new interface driver ST7554 USB Modem
Anyway, starting slmodemd doesn't work:
# slmodemd --country=GERMANY /dev/slusb0
error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb0': No such device
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb0'
Any hints what to do about this?
Best regards,
Victor

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:

For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under
Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,1_or_hw:0,6
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.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-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 n. The also required
headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
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 packages.
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
