I'm currently running opensuse 11.1 on my Toshiba Satellite 2410 with an
integrated modem. I cant seem to get opensuse to install appropriate
software to work/recognize the modem. As a result, I'm giving linmodem a
try. As this is my first time working with this, any help to get this
going would be greatly appreciated.
My system is currently running the following kernel:
$ uname -a
Linux myhost 2.6.27.21-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2009-03-31 14:50:44 +0200 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I've run scanModem and got the generated Modem folder. I am sending the
Modem/ModemData.txt file as an attachment. As far as I can see,
ModemData.txt seems to be ok and I guess my next step is to download the
following and start compiling:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD_gcc4.2_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz
The problem I'm experiencing is that I am not able to access the website
to download slmodemd.
can someone tell me an alternative place to get slmodemd?

but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.2_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.2_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-pae/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
