Hi,
I'm new on this list.
I'm running under Debian Sid on my laptop. This is an "old" laptop (4
years) but still working. My modem has worked well last year with
sl-modem-daemon and the snd-intel8x0m. I'm using wvdial to connect.
Now it doesn't work anymore. I have tested my wvdial configuration. I
think it's ok. I have tested 2 accounts with 2 different FAI with
different phone number. And it doesn't work : when I launch wvdial I get
this "NO CARRIER". So I have stopped sl-modem-daemon and restart it.
Nothing else. So I have stopped sl-modem-daemon and launched it under
root with :
slmodemd --country FRANCE -a --debug
and I get that :

I have tested my laptop with scanmodem utility. I attach the modemdata
file. I have read the doc and tested to boot with pollirq or
pci=routeirq. It doesn't change anything. I have verify that my modem is
enabled in BIOS and it's OK.
I compile my kernel myself. Perhaps I have forgotten something
important...but I don't see what it could be. Which module or options
must be present for a modem connexion ?
Are there others related problems with sl-modem-daemon, snd-intel8x0m
and new kernel ?
Just to say that it isn't an "hardware" problem, I'm using it to send
you this email under windows.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Guillaume

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.16.
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 1: Modem [Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem], device 0: Intel ICH - Modem [Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem - Modem]

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: agrmodem+agrserial
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
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.gcc4.3.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.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

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.1
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.26-1/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.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/acerhk.tar.bz2
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-26 may be needed to support driver compiling.
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
