Regarding whether to use slamr or ALSA driver (snd-atiixp-modem), if you still got the Lenny system running, I think you should use the same configuration from that system. So, if your old configuration was indeed using slamr. Then, try to manually load slamr: modprobe slamr and tell me if it gets loaded or not (I want to make sure if the error that you got above could probably be from loading ungrab-winmodem). -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0xEDDDA1B7 GPG Fingerprint: 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7
