Hi Antonio,
There was no slmodemd script in the scripts folder, but I did find
another one from another attempt
to get slmodemd working. The necessary changes have been made to
SLMODEMD_DEVICE, SLMODEMD_COUNTRY,
and the first uncommented line with '$prog' (where I deleted the prefix
'/dev' before the '$SLMODEMD_DEVICE'):
I can run slmodemd manually at root, but cannot get the scriptto run at
user level. I've also
'chmod a+x slmodemd' in '/usr/sbin/slmodemd' and in
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/slmodemd'.
I'm a bit concerend with two commented lines at the beginning (l.5 #
chkconfig: 345 90 10 and
l.8 # config: /etc/sysconfig/slmodem). Since they are commented out,
they should have no effect
on the script, correct? But a little further down, on l.17,
'CONFIG=/etc/sysconfig/$prog' might
be causing the problem. However, I have no idea what the correct CONFIG
might be.
The slmodemd script I've used:
*****
#!/bin/sh
#
# slmodemd: Starts the SmartLink Modem Daemon
#
# chkconfig: 345 90 10

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.3
linux-headers-2.6.24.4-desktop586-1mnb resources needed for compiling
are not manifestly ready!
The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers,
and possibly others.
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.24.4-desktop586-1mnb
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I appreciate your assistance getting this operational -- this old

She would really mess things up if she had to use root to get the modem
running.

Please run
$ su -

look for slmodemd script in scripts folder(if it exists) and run
# cp slmodemd /etc/rc.d/init.d/
# chkconfig slmodemd on
edit the SLMODEMD_COUNTRY to CANADA since you do a
<quote>
slmodemd -a -c CANADA modem:1
</quote>
and also change SLMODEMD_DEVICE from /dev/slamr to modem:1
Try that and report back. If you are running Ubuntu, then there is
sl-modem-daemon, but here Marv is the expert so if you can please
send/post ModemData.txt and you can get a better more precise answer.

Which Linux distro and kernel are you using.
Best send us the ModemData output scanModem, as the automation route
depends on the DIstro.

Hi,
I finally managed to get slmodemd working on my IBM Thinkpad R40
that
has
a
Smartlink modem using SLMODEMD-gcc4.2.tar.gz.
In the files.txt, it mentions a 'script' directory, but on my
compilation,
there is none. I would like to automate the slmodemd commands
('slmodemd
-a
-c CANADA modem:1') and have it automaticaly load, in the
background,
so I
can use PyWvDial without having to run manually slmodemd first. It
would
be
nice if it didn't have to be run as root.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be
appreciated.
I'm
a bit brain-dead after a day's worth of fiddling with the stock
version of
slmodemd shipped with Mandriva 2008.0, and various downloads of
other
versions.
Thanks,
Andre
