Erin, RE: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko ------------ The last is the the update installed by the ALSA package. But the default uage I believe is to the first, a variant provided by Ubuntu. So do something like (on one line): $ sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /root/ After which nothing should be returned by: ls /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko Verify the line in /etc/wvdial.conf Carrier Check = no Then reboot and retest. If still a failure, stop slmodemd and restart with: $ sudo slmodemd -c USA --log --debug=2 --alsa hw:0,6 Open the other console to start wvdial. After the failure, send the logfile to the List Marvin On Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 3:51 PM, Erin C. <sonyadora@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Marvin Stodolsky wrote: >> >> Erin, >> >> You may have to do an update of your ALSA support. >> This has been necessary for some others with your particular AL833 (if >> I remeber correctly chipset. >> >> See the example in the attached.
