RE: sl-modem-src This isn't needed, as the audio+modem driver is snd-hda-intel and is included in the Linux distributions. Only the slmodemd helper is needed, provided in the sl-modem-daemon package. The including scripts should activate the modem on bootup, which you can test with: $ sudo wvdialconf mytest IF you merely do $ sudo wvdialconf your current /etc/wvdial.conf would be overwritten. So be careful Also do a test commenting out the: Stupid Modem=yes Your local phone company or Linux group may be able to provide information on the optimal country code. With installation of a sl-modem-dameon package, the COUNTRY specification site is done with: $ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon with the default therein being: SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA MarvS On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 8:13 AM, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Mehdi, > > Have you tried with latest Ubuntu? > > If you do try it out, look for the packages sl-modem-src and > sl-modem-daemon as suggested by Marv.
