Hello,
I have a USB Modem and a PCI Modem-Card. My system is a Suse 12.1 with
the following characterisrica:
Linux twisrv 3.1.9-1.4-default #1 SMP Fri Jan 27 08:55:10 UTC 2012 (efb5ff4) i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
The characteristica of the Modems can be seen in the attached file
(any more necessary?). The USB-Modem is working like a charme. But the
PCI-Modem not. The slmodem and ungrab-winmodem sources I found are
only for kernel 2.x. Are there any versions for 3.1 Kernels?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
cdc_acm
Attached USB devices are:

The PCI slot 02:02.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.

For candidate modem in: 02:02.0
0703 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem
Primary device ID: 1057:3052
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself
However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!!
It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by the Smartlink slamr driver.
There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr, which must have 1057:3052
similarly added. See messages from Zello:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html
and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html
For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt
There is a package sl-modem-source providing a source code the modem driver ,
If can be searched for at http://pacakge.ubuntu.com. After downloading install under Linux with:
$ sudo dpkg -i sl*.deb
It is preferable to install the dkms package first.
With DKMS support installed, driver updates with kernel updates will be automatically done.
The modem is supported by the Smartlink
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
For 3.1.9-1.4-default compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

Completed candidate modem analyses.
A UDEV device file system is not active.
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.6.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.6
linux-headers-3.1.9-1.4-default resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-3.1.9-1.4-default
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.
Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
