Joe,
I'm not sure this is cogent to slmodemd usage, but we have to use it
under 2.6.31 for one of the Agere modems competing for snd-hda-intel
fuctionality.
Do:
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
and change the phrase:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=10
to:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0
With an ALSA proficient slmodemd already installed reboot and retest,
to assess if there is any improvement in the "Carrier Check" issue.
Others (but not all) have this same problem. We haven't as yet been
able to identify the significant differences.
