Luca, There are problems under 2.6.31 kernels with slamr support of Smartlink chipsets like your: Modem: Smart Link Ltd. LM-I56N " CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=2003:8800 On a 2.6.30 Slackware system dialout was OK, but under 2.6.31 there is a persisting error: No Carrier Was dialout and/or fax working under any earlier kernel?
