Thomas, First) Please use wvdial for testing and not gnomeppp. Gnomeppp is just a front end in to wvdial which is less adaptive and hides information. Before usage however, the modem must be activated and the configuration utility must be run with root permission: wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf 2nd) Earlier you had achieved an assignment of IRQ to the modem: ----------------------- 11: 16808 XT-PIC-XT uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb3, ehci_hcd:usb4, wifi0, yenta, Intel 82801DB-ICH4, eth0, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:1f.6 ---- [ 17.324901] PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:1f.6 (0000 -> 0001) [ 17.325128] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 [ 17.325139] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled [ 1272.042084] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 [ 1272.042116] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.6 to 64 ----------------------- whereas currrently: [ 17.380275] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled ----------------------- You must again this enablement condition!! After bootup a simple check of the status is to: $ dmesg | grep 0000:00:1f.6 which is the call included in scanModem Third) The USB modem is supported by hsfmodem software, per below, not the SLMODEMD resources MarvS ------------------ From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php download hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k2.6.24_19_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip Under Linux unpack with: $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip Then install with: $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb Subsequently, the modem should be found with $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and try dialing out with: $ sudo wvdial. See DOCs/Testing.txt for details.
