David, There is a pre-compiled 32 bit component, modem/dsplibs.o , protecting the most Proprietary Smartlink code. It cannot be combined with 64 bit code. But using a 64 bit snd-hda-intel.ko driver with a 32 bit compiled slmodemd does work. The 32 bit libraries sought by slmodemd have to be present on your System. Often these are installed by default on x86_64 systems. They are the libasound2 and libasound2-dev (this latter may not be necessary post-compile of slmodemd) MarvS On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 10:50 AM, David Sorokin <david.sorokin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks Marvin, > > I tried to compile the driver from sources (slmodem-2.9.11-20080817.tar.gz) > for x86_64.
