Hi Claus, The only difference between the steps I sent you and those I used on my machine were re-compiling the kernel modules (and the kernel, but that was for my touchpad driver, not the modem). I also noticed you were using alsa 1.0.19. We have no success reports for this version of ALSA, and I therefore suggesst you return to the stock 1.0.17 drivers shipped with SuSE 11.1 kernel. To do this, install the kernel sources, enter /usr/src/linux, and issue the following commands (as superuser): 1. 'make cloneconfig' 2. 'make modules' 3. 'make modules-install' From your description (and the output of dmesg) it seems that your kernel and modem drivers were built with different versions of gcc... This should rectify the issue. (in addition to restoring the alsa-driver version.) Should it still fail, and you are using the stock kernel, please let me know and I'll forward you the (working) modules I am currently using. You should be able to load them without issue, since we have the same distro and kernel version. Bjorn. Zalophus@xxxxxxx wrote: > Hello Bjorn, > > Thank you very much for your reply.
