Francesco All you have done technically is OK First do a triva to conserve resources. $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem.conf Delete the # in front of lines # blacklist snd-atiixp-modem # blacklist snd-via82xx-modem and Save. This will block future loading of these useless modem drivers. The failure in detection by wvdialconf is sometimes due to interference/resource conflict with the audio system. Manually shutting down audio processes before starting the modem may suffice. A more severe shutdown can be achieved as follows. Read with $ sudo gedit /etc/default/pulseaudio and change to SYSTEM mode. Then $ sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio to show options. Then $ sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop Then again try $ sudo wvdialconf Presently report back to the List (not me directly) MarvS scanModem maintainer On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 11:18 AM, sandman42@xxxxxxxxx <sandman42@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm having problems with the modem above. > > I've installed agrsm048pci-2.1.60_20100108_i386 drivers, since scanmodem > reports it as 11c1:048c.
