Re: Need help setting up SmartLink Modem

Jaysen,

The Makefile stuff refers to the original slmodem software set, which
I used to compile the slmodemd you just installed.
So just ignore it as already done.

>>>  PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
>>>  The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
>>>  /lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
>>> /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
>>>  The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
>>> --------------------------------------------------------
>>> Codec: Motorola Si3054
>>> Address: 1
>>> Vendor Id: 0x10573055

Your audio + modem driver is the snd-hda-intel.ko automatically
installed in support of the High Definition Audio Card
whose Subsystem hosts the  Motorola Si3054 0x10573055 modem chip
Such chips do little more then specify which software should be used
under Microsoft, which would be a Motorola software package
instructing the CPU what to do.

Under Linux there is no Motorola software, but instead the  Smart
slmodemd utility (not a driver) substitutes.

The
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA  --alsa hw:0,6
> SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug  3 2008 22:31:06
> symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
> modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'

did effectively activate the modem.  The Ubuntu sl-modem-daemon
package does the same thing, additionally running upon bootup the:
     slmodemd -c USA  --alsa hw:0,6
You don't need the sl-modem-source package, as it is not for HDA modem
type hardware

With the modem activated, you should be able to open a console and
further test the modem.
But first do while online
$ sudo apt-get install wvdial

When done
$ sudo wvdialconf
should find the modem

Read the wvdial.txt sample and
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
to edit in your dialout info.

They shut down ethernet/LAN/wireless or they will block new DNS for the modem.
THen try a dialout with
$ sudo wvdial

Please write to the List, not me directly as I am ony online in the evening.
