Chad RE: Modem: ATI Technologies Inc SB400 AC'97 Modem Controller " CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=1002:4378 SUBSYS=107b:0506 IRQ=17 SOFT=1002:4378.MC97 IDENT=mc97 Driver=snd-atiixp-modem ===== As assessed by: ===== Within /etc/modprobe.conf files: /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem.conf:install slamr /sbin/modprobe -qb ungrab-winmodem; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 && (chmod 660 /dev/slamr0 && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem.conf:install slusb /sbin/modprobe -qb ungrab-winmodem; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install slusb; test -e /dev/slusb0 && (chmod 660 /dev/slusb0 && chgrp dialout /dev/slusb0) || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0 ====== all the necessary software appears to be installed, with modem setup automated by the sl-modem-daemon package. The modem should be found by: $ sudo wvdialconf If so , edit in your personal information and remove symbols < > ; during $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf additionally adding a line: Carrier Check = no Then you should be able to dialout with: $ sudo wvdial The snd-atiixp-modem driver occassionally dies. To compensate: $ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart which will unload the driver and setup the modem again. Please send futher messages to the List, not direct to me.
