Martin Since there is the problem: [ 10.049699] slamr 0000:00:11.6: PCI INT C disabled with the slamr driver usage, Unload slamr: $ sudo modprobe -r slamr unload and reload the alternate: $ sudo modprobe -r snd-via82xx-modem $ sudo modprobe snd-via82xx-modem Then try activating the modem with: $ sudo slmodemd -c GERMANY --alsa modem:1 which should announce creation of /dev/ttySL0 is all is OK. Then open a 2nd console or TAB and try modem detection with: $ sudo wvdialconf Don't fiddle with the gnome-ppp front end for wvdial MarvS scanModem maintainer On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 10:57 AM, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Martin, > > There is a slight disagreement, my gut feeling is that > SLMODEMD.gcc.4.4-alsa-1.0.20.tar.gz should do the job and not the > slamr module which is loaded.
