Joe, With sl-modem-daemon installed, it while try to setup you modem upon bootup. So after bootup try a modem detection with: # wvdialconf wvtest Your previous setup failures may merele have been because the modem was already activated. marvS 2010/5/4 Joe(theWordy)Philbrook <jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>: > > It would appear that on May 4, Marvin Stodolsky did say: > >> Joe, >> >> Be sure to do a >> $ make clean >> before: >> $ make ALSA_SUPPORT=1 > > OK I can try that...
