Ahmed, BP was having trouble connecting too many NO CARRIER: ===== THREAD: JP, USA, Kernel 2.6.32-21-generic, wvdial No Carrier BP <bottomless.pete@xxxxxxxxx> Sat, Jul 10, 2010 at 10:37 PM To: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Reply | Reply to all | Forward | Print | Delete | Show original Greetings. I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 x86 to the newest LTS, 10.04 x86 (w/ kernel 2.6.32-21) and my modem will no longer connect. When I run wvdial to establish a connection, it verifies the initialization of the modem, but cannot/will not find a carrier, cycling through dial attempts until I manually kill the process. This happens with or without "Carrier Check = no" enabled in my wvdial.conf file. I have both distros on separate partitions on the same hardware, and the 8.10 version has no trouble detecting a carrier, so I am fairly certain it is not a hardware/line issue. I installed the daemon and drivers via the distro package of sl-modem-daemon, slmodem-2.9.11-20100106.tar.gz (since there is no pre-compiled slamr package for my kernel version as of yet), as well as installing ungrab-winmodem-20090116.tar.gz. And I have followed the given setup and troubleshooting steps in those installation packages, but no joy. Any advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated. ======== Marv sent him the new slmodem code and the result was: ======== Greetings. The June 13th version works like a charm. Thank you! -- JP ======== Marv also let him know about the sl-modem-source: ======== BP There is a package sl-modem-source: Description: SmartLink software modem driver - module building source This package contains source code for the low-level drivers for the software modems produced by Smart Link Ltd. It supports PCI and USB models. . In addition to this package, you will need the package sl-modem-daemon which implements the application part of the driver. . Module packages can be built for the custom kernel package either by hand or using DKMS. -------- As you install it, the DKMS utility already on your System will register its installation. Subsequently during booting with upgrade kernels, compiling and installation of ungrab-winmodem and slamr will be automated. MarvS ======== Does that help a but?
