Dear Patrick,
I might perhaps come up with good news.
First cd intel-536-537/
Next edit coredrv/locks.c and suppress _bh from xspin_lock_bh so that it
looks like:
asmlinkage void
linux_MT_AcquireLock_PortQIn(void){xspin_lock(&Lock_PortQIn);}
asmlinkage void
linux_MT_ReleaseLock_PortQIn(void){xspin_unlock(&Lock_PortQIn);}
Then
$ cd $HOME
try this program:
$ cat > test.c <<- EOF
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(){
int fd;
if ((fd = open("/dev/modem", O_RDONLY)) == -1) {
printf("Can't open /dev/modem. Error: %s\n",strerror(errno));
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
close(fd);
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
return 0;
}
EOF
that you compile the following way:
$ gcc -O0 -g -o test test.c
then first from another terminal:
$ tail -f /var/log/messages
from the first terminal:
$ ./test
If this does not produce a Call stack in the first terminal:
$ efax -vewinchmart
Finally you may retry wvdial.
Yours truly,
Philippe

Sorry I should have mentioned I flipped the card back to the old slot...I figured it the HCF modem worked in that old slot then there is no reason as far as IRQ is to get this modem to work.

Patrick,
Excellent ! You do reproduce the Call Trace with a simple efax. I
feel much more confident toward a quick solution which will satisfy
you.
I do notice your "Disabling IRQ #19" ! Why #19 which is occupied by
other hardware components as per your previous cat /proc/interrupts
and not #20 as you told me you moved the 537 modem board to another
PCI slot ???
Can you sched me more light upon this ?

Patrick,
Thank you so much for this detailled call stack. If you read http://www.linuxgrill.com/anonymous/fire/netfilter/kernel-hacking-HOWTO-5.html,
the spinlock chapter, one driver's spinlock being involved in your
case, would it happen you run an SMP Fedora 16 distribution (as per
indicated by uname -a) on a single CPU configuration ?
From your previous $ cat /proc/interrupts, IRQ 20 looks to be free
and there should not be any longer an IRQ conflict.
Please provide me with the output of a command like $ sensors. Here
is what it tells for me:
$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +56.0 C (high = +86.0 C, crit = +100.0 C)
Core 1: +56.0 C (high = +86.0 C, crit = +100.0 C)
So I am sure my processor is a dual core. I need to know with a
simple command output fact whether your processor is single or
multicore. Well note I am just in the preliminary phase of my
investigations.
I fear we may also need efax to satisfy you. Can you download
http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/efax.zip ?
$ unzip -aa efax.zip
$ cd efax
$ make -f Makefile_orig
$ ./efax -vewinchmart
After efax run, do you still have in your Call Trace:
[<f9e07942>] linux_MT_ReleaseLock_timer_task+0x12/0x20 [Intel537]
???
For the moment I prefer you run efax on your computer as I shall be
able to perform the very same test on my Dual Core processor. If we
can compare comparible things, it much ease troubleshooting.

Patrick,
With your modem board at IRQ 20 and the modem driver can gives us
the output of each of the commands below:
1/ cd intel536-537/
2/ sudo make uninstall
3/ dmesg | tail
4/ sudo make install
5/ dmesg | tail
6/ sudo cat /proc/interrupt
7/ efax -vewinchmart

The more facts you can provide us is the best.

One more piece of info:
My dmesg on boot says:

So I can't really do a setserial for irq 20 and that i/o port.

Hi Patrick,
Thank so much for your long reply.
First of all about my write up. I do first suggest to use efax to
troubleshoot for the driver's installation correctness. It does help
much highlighting most of the problems before wvdial or kppp times
attemtps to connect to Internet. And the very advantage of the efax
command I provide is that it is at no financial cost but an analog
phone line subscription. The efax command just engage your phone
line without making a real call. So, except the analog phone
subscription line, the efax test is at strictly NO additional cost
for the end-user and provides lots of very informative data,
enabling to best troubleshoot in case of problems.
As for /dev/ttyS*, I never felt the necessity, the modem code
creating a soft link between /dev/modem and the /dev/[537 | 536ep]
real device. /dev/modem is sufficient for both wvdial and kppp. With
an example on how to set up /etc/wvdial.conf on my Web site, you are
the first one to mention wvdialconf among all the driver end-users
since I inhierd this code back in Fedora Core 4. In fact, with all
my experience with the end-users of my work, it appears that the
most delicate thing is to correctly specify the suitable AT modem
commands.
Regarding the other technical items of your skills, could I suggest
you if possible for you to open up a public Web site on your
computer or ask for Web space to your Internet provider in order to
share with others all your acquired knowledge. You would be
surprised like I am always delighted to notice it with my Web site
that the specific work you do for someone in peticular may also
interest a vast population over the planet. This is also true with
any knowledge whichever its nature and topic. Your efforts would
then be very rewarded the very same as mines.
Back to your IRQ problem ! Did my suggestions regarding either a
possible jumper enabling IRQ selection on your modem board or
pluging in the modem into another PCI slot help you ?
Yours truly,

Hi Philippe,
First off, well done on this write up. An area that you may like to improve on, as you have suggested to use wvdial as a test app after installation, would be the importance of wvdial needing to see the modem device on a /dev/ttyS* link for use by the wvdialconf tool. As it stands, you have recommended to symbolically link /dev/modem to /dev/537ep which is good, however, for the sake of less tech savvy users that would simply like to run wvdialconf a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS15 (15 being the experimental one) would allow wvdialconf to run successfully - advantages would be init string validation and correctness as well as the creation of /etc/wvdial.conf for post editing of the ISP username and password of course.
As far as other technical subjects, you may guffaw at what I have been able to accomplish with my experience with Linux back when I first explored it back in late 1990's. That being said here are my main uses:
- openvpn with bridging to allow me to vpn in to my linux machine and obtain an IP on my subnet to see other devices on my network
- squid to filter traffic from my kids PC on a whitelist to the internet
- httpd to host my archive of pics, tunes and movies for access by anyone in my subnet
- chntpw app to constantly help my friends who have forgotten their windows NT admin account passwords
- simple ffmpeg conversions such as:
ffmpeg -i input.wav output.mp3
ffmpeg -i input.avi -b 64k -s 320x240 -r 24 output.mp4
- sendmail.mc and access config for the mail command for my scripts below
- mbr backup and restore scripts (dd if=blah blah)
- samba for giving my archives access to any UNC connection on my subnet
- tcpdump commands to sniff my network
- I have a network attached IP camera that ftps motion detected images to my linux machine on vsftpd
- iptables of course to firewall the entire operation
scripts I use:
- a tclsh script that logs all incoming calls to a text file (i.e. date, number, name)
- current ip script that checks my external ip every 30 mins and if it changes to email me the new one
- script to email me the previous days proxy violations from squid
- script to email me the previous days tty login attempts
- script to email me the previous days call log
- lmsensors script to read the internal temperature of my PC including fan speeds and basement temperature via snmpget...typical output is:
[pboyadjian@pb3000 scripts]$ temp
Basement Temperature = 17 C
PC Internal Temperature = 34 C
PC Chip Fan = 672 RPM
PC Case Fan = 1132 RPM
[pboyadjian@pb3000 scripts]$
If you would like my technical documentation on any of the above I would be more than happy to offer it.

Patrick

Thanks for the swift reply Antonio.
Well originally I had a conexant chipset for a HCF modem that the linuxant group had drivers for, however those drivers ONLY worked on pre 3.x kernels so they broke when I upgraded. Dev team from Linuxant has informed me they are aware of the API break in the driver for the newer kernel and say they should fix it sometime soon. Meanwhile I dug up the Intel modem you see below to try and get it to work.
So short answer I never should have upgraded!! :)

Patrick,
I am unsure if that modem in particular is served by Phillipe's
driver. IT does not seem to be a true INTEL 537 modem :(
However, there was a recent update to the driver since it was failing
to build up in Ubuntu and it was working fine in Fedora 15. Did you
make sure that you got the latest driver available from Phillipe's
website?
Oops sorry, you did get the latest one. Maybe Phillipe can comment
here to make sure that maybe something went wrong, or that it may be
specific to 537 modem, since the driver also works with 536 Intel
based modems.
Regards,
Antonio
BTW,
since you have experience with linux since the Red Hat days, did you
get to use this particular modem before? If you did and the drivers
worked, I see no reason why the modem should not work with the newer
kernels.
