Check its version with # slmodemd --version which should report 2.9.11 as contrasted to 2.9.9 If not 2.9.11 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz and read instructions therein, to replace your current /usr/sbin/slmodemd with the current 2.9.11 version again check with: # slmodemd --version for a 2.9.11 output Then activate the modem with: # /etc/init.d/ sl-modem-daemon start which is not automaticallly on bootup, After modem activation, the modem should be detected by # wvdialconf.
