OK I'm using ubuntu 9.0.4 RC with SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.18.tar.gz, and kernel 2.6.28-11-generic. I disabled everything other than lo. I am getting prompted now for a password but no matter what I do it times out. I've tried entering the password and not entering the password when prompted. Suggestions? Either way it times out as shown below. Am I suppose to be loading a low-level driver at some point? I also noticed in README that it doesn't seem to support my setup. Supported Hardware ================== HAMR5600 based AMR/CNR/MDC/ACR modem cards on the following Southbridge chips: - Intel ICH0,ICH2, ICH3, ICH4 - Via 686A, 686B, 8231, 8233 - SiS 630 - ALI 1535.
