Hiya, i switched from ubuntu intrepid i386 to amd64. I have an Smartlink 56K USB Softmodem. While i used i386 the modem worked well, but in amd64 it don't connect. The driver slmodem-2.9.11-20080818 compiles well, after installing the ia32 libraries and development packages provided by ubuntu. But the modem won't connect. dmesg outputs [ 4152.212067] ioctl32(slmodemd:9044): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000008){t:00;sz:0} arg(00000000) on /dev/slusb0 Then i googled for this error message, but didn't found some useful stuff. Then i played around with initstrings, and it worked, the modem connected like in i386. jibeeeeee. Thought i found the right initstring, but after an reboot, the same problem, it won't connect. Again, played around with initstrings, nothing works, but suddenly, it connect's again, jibeeeee. After reboot, it wont't connect. I realized that the ioctl32 error message only appears when the modem won't connect, if it connect's no error messages appear. I don't know why, it couldn't be the initstrings. My wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = "ATZ" #Init2 = "AT&A7&F&C1&D2+MS=92,0,32000,48000" Init2 = "AT&FE0V1&A3&D2&C1S0=0&H1\N3N1X3%E0%C3" Dial Command = ATM0DT Modem Type = Analog Modem #Baud = 460800 Baud = 115200 New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/modem ISDN = off Stupid Mode = on Carrier Check = no Auto Reconnect = off Auto DNS = off Abort on Busy = off Abort on No Dialtone = off Check Def Route = off Idle Seconds = 0 Phone = *** Username = *** Password = *** I would thank you for any help.
