Lazaro,

1057:3052 chipsets do indeed need slamr+ungrab-winmodem drivers +
slmodemd support.   This is a happy support accident reflecting how
little many winmodems differ, and not a planned feature of slmodem
code.

There are 2 forward routes.

1) The best is to provide if possible the deb packages for dkms,
sl-modem-deamon & sl-modem-source (as the latter now has dkms support
for auto upgrades).
Thus once installed upgrades with future kernels will be automatic.

2) If this cannot be done, the compilation and installation with
ungrab-winmodem and slmodem resources can be done.
Once online:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install dkms sl-modem-deamon  sl-modem-source
to then achieve the same result of 1)

Note that the driver loading under 2) is not automated.
So there must manually be done after ever bootup
$ sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodem
The
$ sudo make install
step in the slmodem source package
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0
to activate the modem.

Also beyond our control, between each dialout under a single boot, one must
$ Ctrl-C
to stop wvdial
In the console used to activate the modem
$ Ctrl-C
to stop slmodemd
$ sudo modprobe -r slamr

Restart With:
$ modprobe slamr
$ slmodemd  -c USA /dev/slarm0

Once the sl-modem-daemon package is installed, the above steps are automated by:
$ sudo  /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart
