Lorenzo, The sl-modem-daemon package you have installed used needs some modifications. $ ls /etc/default/sl* Should show a filename like sl-modem-daemon. Set your Country properly with: $ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon Changing the default USA to ITALY The sl-modem-daemon package you installed provided an older slmodemd of version 2.9.9e which most likely will NOT be functional on your System. Check with: $ slmodemd --help $ slmodemd --version There is at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ a package: SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz which has a version 2.9.11 slmodemd inside. Your current slmodemd should be displayed by: $ ls /usr/sbin/slmodemd Do a rename $ sudo mv /usr/sbin/slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd.2.9.9e Unpack with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz Move into the new folder: $ cd SLMODEMD.gcc4.3 Look at contents $ ls Copy over with: $ sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd Activate $ sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/slmodemd Now restart slmodemd with: $ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart Now $ slmodemd --version should report 2.9.11, and your modem should be properly activated. Test with: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf which should find the modem. Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf removing the ; < > symbols, and addiing a line: Carrier Check = no Then you can trial a dialout with: $ sudo wvdial If there is a failure, read the wvdial.txt about settings sometimes needed in Italy The driver snd-intel8x0m sometimes dies while loaded. To compensate for a failure, just reset with: $ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart Report back to the List if you have problems.
