Joe, indeed scanModem reports that Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.20.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.20.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.20.tar.gz is needed but does not exist? only http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.20.tar.gz exists, so how do you approach this matter? 1) You can create a slmodemd for yourself by downloading slmodem-2.9.11-20100303.tar.gz, and cd'in (changing directory to drivers) and running Build application 'slmodemd' with ALSA support. For this in slmodem-2.9.x dir: $ cd modem $ make SUPPORT_ALSA=1 2) wait for a package to be built by another volunteer 3) Download/install new version of Ubuntu for which driver exists. Those are the options at this time. Hope that you can get a driver for it as soon as possible if option 1 and 3 are out of the question.
