JP, If you run scanModem from Ubuntu 8.10, do you get Modem Interrupt Assignment? For candidate card in slot 05:00.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 05:00.0 10b9:5459 14fe:9100 Modem: ALi Corporation SmartLink SmartPCI561 56K Modem Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 21: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi SL1800 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 05:00.0 ---- [ 0.187878] pci 0000:05:00.0: reg 10 32bit mmio: [0x30001000-0x30001fff] [ 0.187889] pci 0000:05:00.0: reg 14 io port: [0x1000-0x10ff] [ 0.187945] pci 0000:05:00.0: PME# supported from D3hot D3cold [ 0.187952] pci 0000:05:00.0: PME# disabled [ 0.276336] serial 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 [ 0.276970] 0000:05:00.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0x1028 (irq = 21) is a 8250 [ 0.277305] 0000:05:00.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0x1040 (irq = 21) is a 8250 [ 0.277532] 0000:05:00.0: ttyS3 at I/O 0x1050 (irq = 21) is a 8250 [ 0.277578] Couldn't register serial port 0000:05:00.0: -28 [ 12.745350] serial 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A disabled [ 12.803274] slamr 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 The PCI slot 05:00.0 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. If you do, then you may want to include "Stupid Mode = yes" in your wvdial.conf file. It would be nice to have logs say $ sudo wvdial output comparing the two sessions in parallel, ie. one that works and the one that does not?
