Ab.Jarrah, scanModem reports that you have x86_64 bit linux installed, some modems do not work in 64 bit mode :( Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems, while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are: 1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem controllers. In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component. 2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component 3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64 competent. 4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64 systems. If you had 32 bit version installed, then your modem would work with slmodem-2.9.11-201003X.tar.gz code: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 02:0c.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartPCI2800 V.92 PCI Soft DFT " CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=2000:2800 SUBSYS=1801:2800 IRQ=20 IDENT=slamr For candidate modem in: 02:0c.0 0703 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartPCI2800 V.92 PCI Soft DFT Primary device ID: 2000:2800 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 kernels >= 2.6.31 the slamr driver is functional(thanks to Yair who supplied the patches), with packages http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20100303.tar.gz and http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz . For Ubuntu users this can be done by downloading the kernel from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic and from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ the slamr-2.6.28-16-generic.tar.gz From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ , download the package slamr-2.6.27-7-generic.tar.gz Under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with: $ tar zxvf slamr*.tar.gz Move into the unpacked folder $ cd slamr-2.6.27-7-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 *NOTE this only for 32 bit Linux, not x86_64 This /* package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) */ would happen 99.9% of the time. the architecture has to match so the package cannot be installed. If you install 32 bit Linux, then your modem has a shot at working.
