Marv & Manish, The output from scanModem reports that the agrsm-tools package does provide for autoloading? The agrsm-tools package supports driver autoloading, but does not itself contain drivers. This brings up a question regarding the new /etc/modprobe.d/ directory that is now become depracated? How is the driver to be loaded if not put directly in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory? The only thing that I can come up with is a modified script for /etc/init.d/ and use of chkconfig and add it as a service with it. Something like #!/bin/sh # # agrsmd: Starts the agrsm-11c11040 Modem Daemon # # chkconfig: 345 90 10 # description: This is the user space part of the 11c11040 agrsm Modem driver modprobe agrmodem modprobe agrserial if ! [[ -e /dev/modem ]] &> /dev/null; then { echo "Linking /dev/ttyAGS3 to /dev/modem to let kppp access modem" ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem } fi # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting agrsm . . ." modprobe agrmodem modprobe agrserial echo "done" ;; stop) echo -n "Shutting down agrsm . . ." modprobe -r agrserial modprobe -r agrmodem echo "done" ;; status) ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: agrsm {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 1 esac exit 0 save it to agrsmd. Then copy this file over to /etc/rc.d/init.d or /etc/init.d/ folder and add it with chkconfig as superuser $ su - passwd: # cp agrsmd /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/init.d/ # chkconfig agrsm --add then check to see if the links are created or not? [root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig agrsmd on [root@localhost init.d]# cd .. [root@localhost rc.d]# for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 and you should see some K00? and S00? stuff created with agrsmd. Modified a bit to match agrsm from slmodemd startup script found here. http://www20.brinkster.com/olivares/slmodemd-setup-1.html I do not know if this will actually work, but I did have some success with modified pctel scripts with chkconfig in Fedora. I hope that the script works but it comes with no warranty :( I know the script somehow works in Slax, but only Hugo confirmed that it works since I could not get the agrsm 11c1:0620 modem to work for me.
