Gamil In principle the correct guidance is ----------------- 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 modem:1 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. ---------------- But before you try to work with these resources, first there MUST be overcome for modem: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:1f.6 8086:24c6 14e4:4d64 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 7: 467 XT-PIC-XT eth0, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:1f.6 ---- [ 8.946958] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 [ 8.946967] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled [ 24.699560] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 [ 26.225523] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.6 to 64 [ 26.327353] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled [ 26.327371] hsfich: probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -5 ------------------------ Upon reboot do: $ lsmod >> gamil.txt $ echo >> gamil.txt $ dmesg >> gamil.txt and send us the gamil.txt If you can identify the DriverName supported the eth0 (ethernet), unload it: $ sudo modprobe -r DriverName Then run $ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m $ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m Then $ sudo ./scanModem may report modem activation Please report your Country and if possible, your ethernet DriverName You will want to create a file with: $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local with two lines # to free up irq 7 resources for the modem blacklist DriverName Then upon reboot the ethernet driver will not be loaded and there likely will be resources available to activate the modem MarvS scanModem maintainer A Linuxant bootup diagnostic reported: [ 26.225849] HSF: ERROR: not a Conexant modem<3> On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 6:33 PM, Mr. Gamil4me <gamil4me@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >
