** Description changed: Ever since I updated to Jaunty, I cannot access the Winmodem in my Thinkpad X24 any longer. This used to work fine in Hardy. I think I have the necessary packages installed and even upgraded to the PPA packages from Ahmed, the Debian maintainer. The dkms module is compiled fine, there just is no /dev/ttySL0 device node. /dev/modem thus points into nirvana. $ dpkg -l sl-modem* dkms Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-=========================-=========================-================================================================== ii dkms 2.0.21.1-0ubuntu3 Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework ii sl-modem-daemon 2.9.11~20090222-1~ppa1 SmartLink software modem daemon un sl-modem-modules <none> (no description available) un sl-modem-modules-new <none> (no description available) ii sl-modem-source 2.9.11~20090222-1~ppa1 SmartLink software modem driver - module building source - $ ll /dev/modem + $ ll /dev/modem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-05-11 23:33 /dev/modem -> ttySL0 + + + =========== Test case ============== + + * ALSA (uses snd_atiixp_modem module) + In /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon: + SLMODEMD_DEVICE=modem:1 + + $ sudo invoke-rc.d sl-modem-daemon start + Starting SmartLink Modem driver for: modem:1. + Creating /dev/modem symlink, pointing to: /dev/ttySL0. + + $ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 + lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-03-25 03:48 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/2 + + $ ls -l /dev/pts/2 + crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 136, 2 2010-03-25 03:51 /dev/pts/2 + + $ sudo invoke-rc.d sl-modem-daemon stop + Shutting down SmartLink Modem driver normally. + Unloading modem driver from kernel ... snd_atiixp_modem. + + * slamr + In /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon: + SLMODEMD_DEVICE=slamr0 + + $ sudo invoke-rc.d sl-modem-daemon start + Starting SmartLink Modem driver for: slamr0. + Creating /dev/modem symlink, pointing to: /dev/ttySL0. + + $ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 + lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-03-25 04:00 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/1 + + $ ls -l /dev/pts/1 + crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 136, 1 2010-03-25 04:00 /dev/pts/1 + + * Dialup to internet (in both cases: ALSA & slamr) is done with wvdial, + I have the following setting in wvdial.conf: + + Carrier Check = no + + * Tested fax sending using efax, and it sent faxes.
