M.A. Haddad,
scanModem has found that your modem is supported through
slmodem-20090222.tar.gz and ungrab-winmodem. You don't have wvdial
installed and you need to install kernel-devel and gcc(Development
tools) to make use of the modem:
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:0c.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Modem: ALi Corporation SmartLink SmartPCI561 56K Modem"
CLASS=0703
PCIDEV=10b9:5459
SUBSYS=10a5:5459
IRQ=11
IDENT=slamr
For candidate modem in: 00:0c.0
0703 Modem: ALi Corporation SmartLink SmartPCI561 56K Modem
Primary device ID: 10b9:5459
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
The modem is supported by the Smartlink
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
For 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE compiling drivers is necessary. As of
Today, except for kernels >= 2.6.31, the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz

The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.4.0 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE resources needed for
compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.4
</quote>
To solve this, connect your computer to an available connection and run
$ su -
passwd:
# yum install "Development Tools" -y
# yum install kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE-devel
# yum install kernel-headers--2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE
because yum will try to find the latest packages available which are
either 2.6.30.9? or 2.6.31.??.
or download the packages separately and install them with rpm -ivh
package-*.rpm
Also wvdial is not installed:

The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on
your System.
For Ubuntu users, there are at the bottom of
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/
packages with the files necessary to install wvdial, with names like:
wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.
wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
wvdial_karmic_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your
Linux partition:
$ unzip wv*.zip
Within the new folder:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
will complete the wvdial installation
Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information.

The Juanty/Karamic packages do not work in Fedora, thus you may if you can run
# yum install wvdial
and it will pull in dependencies like wvstreams, etc.
After you have installed the kernel-devel-PAE and kernel-headers-PAE
for your kernel, and Development Tools(gcc at least), you may install
the slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz and
ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz. Download them and copy them to your
linux partition:
$ tar -zxvf slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz
$ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20090222
$ make KERNEL_VER=/lib/modules/2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE/build
The above command will not work unless you install kernel-devel-PAE
package for your kernel and gcc tools as well
$ make
$ su -c 'make install'
$ cd ..
$ cd ungrab-winmodem-20090716/
$ su -c 'make clean'
passwd:
$ su -c 'make'
passwd:
$ su -c 'make install'
passwd:
$ su -
passwd:
# modprobe ungrab-winmodem
# modprobe slamr
# slmodemd -c SYRIA /dev/slamr0
Leave this window running and open another terminal shell/tab and
run(after you have installed wvdial)
$ su -
passwd:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
it will scan for available modem ports and hopefully find /dev/ttySL0
and then all you would need to do is edit file /etc/wvdial.conf with
your favorite editor and remove the ";" and add your username,
isp_phone number and password with a line "Carrier Check = no". Try
to connect and if connection succeeds but browsing fails, look at the
DNS entries output by wvdial. Then as root user (su -) edit the file
/etc/resolv.conf and add them. Browsing should now work. Let us
know how this goes.
Regards,
Antonio
