Cristian, You have downloaded newer slmodem-2.9.11 code, while you could have used older 2.9.11-2008126 version. Your kernel is kind of old compared to newer kernels. You could try to do the following as suggested by scanModem: For candidate card in slot 04:01.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 04:01.0 2000:2800 163c:2800 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartPCI2800 V.92 PCI Soft DFT Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 169: 12 16 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb5 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 04:01.0 ---- PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:04:01.0 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:01.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:01.0 disabled The PCI slot 04:01.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. Send us dmesg.txt only since ModemData.txt has been already attached.
