Hello,
I have an Packard Bell EasyNote 1280 with a built in modem. It has
Ubuntu 9.10 installed on it.
The scanModem script told me:
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_via82xx_modem
After I worked with some guides (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
) it showed me the following:
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_via82xx_modem slamr
I followed the instructions on that linked guide and I thought that I
would have installed the driver correctly, Ubuntu tells me that a
„SmartLink HAMR5600,SMARTPCI56/561 based modem driver“ is active and
in use. So I would think that the modem does work somehow.
Then I used gnome-ppp to dial and set up number, user and pass, but it
tells me that /dev/modem (which is a link to /dev/ttySL0) does not
exist. /dev/ttySL0 dies not exist as well—says gnome-ppp. When I try
to use /dev/ttyS0 it just gives me an IO-Error.
It just tells me that no modem was detected.
What do I have to do?
Thanks for your time and greetings from Germany,
Martin
