Βασίλης We are having problems with the slamr driver dependent modems under 2.6.31 kernels. But try the following. Do send further transmissions to the List as well, as I don't my self have this modem hardware. From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ , download the package slamr-2.6.31-14-generic.tar.gz Under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with: $ tar zxvf slamr*.tar.gz Move into the unpacked folder $ cd slamr-2.6.31-14-generic Look around $ ls Run the $ sudo ./setup Afterwards do: $ slmodemd --help $ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein. Do and edit with: $ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon and therein replace the USA in the line: SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA This will provide for the correct Country setting in the automated: slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0 Read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt and DOCs/YourSystem.txt Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt 2010/1/3 Βασίλης <piperastaman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > i don't know the difference between plain text / html [and ofcourse i > wouldn't know how to switch between them...] > > thanks for answering so quickly - thankyou for existing. > > i attach the .txt (but also i paste it here - since it 's a private > email now, i guess you don't mind) > > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
