Dear folks,
I have overlooked an important part of ModemData.txt:
========================================
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 04:02.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Modem: SILICON Laboratories Intel 537 [Winmodem] "
CLASS=0703
PCIDEV=1543:3052
SUBSYS=1543:3000
IRQ=17
HDA2=00:1b.0
IDENT=Not_supported_under_Linux
For candidate modem in: 04:02.0
0703 Modem: SILICON Laboratories Intel 537 [Winmodem]
Primary device ID: 1543:3052
Support type needed or chipset: Not_supported_under_Linux
========================================
Your modem is NOT SUPPORTED under Linux :(
This is why it is freezing. If you try the latest driver and you can
get a contradiction, then please let us know about it.
@Phillipe,
Sorry for overlooking this detail.
Regards,
Antonio
