Andrew,
scanModem reports that your modem is supported through slamr.ko +
ungrab-winmodem.ko.
It also recommends that you get dkms package installed to help with
kernel upgrades:
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
===============================================================
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 03:0c.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem "
CLASS=0703
PCIDEV=1057:3052
SUBSYS=1057:3020
IRQ=20
IDENT=slamr
For candidate modem in: 03:0c.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 2.6.32-40-generic 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
===============================================================
If you have internet connectivity you may search for the
sl-modem-source package and install it with
command above. After successful installation, the modem should be setup with
$ sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodem
$ sudo modprobe slamr
Then command
$ slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY /dev/slamr0
and leave it running in the background and open another terminal/tab and run
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
and hopefully it finds /dev/ttySL0 as the modem port. Edit
wvdial.conf with sudo priviledges
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and add your username, password, ISP phone number and a line Carrler
Check = no. Then try to connect to internet.
$ sudo wvdial
and see if you can connect. Carefully read the Smartlink.txt in DOCs/
directory output by scanModem.
Regards,
Antonio
