Olemis,

The generic problem is that commercial support for modem drivers under
Linux has been non-existent for a few years.  Nethertheless, a few of
us List members are still attempting to provide upgrades/support.
But this becomes increasing difficult to impossible as the Linux code
itself rapidly evolves.  Your best long term option is to
1) try and get some type of broadband access
2) find a USB modem using Open Source Linux drivers, which continue to
be supported; sadly however,  add on modems generally lack this
information on the commercial box.

For your particular problem with the Linxant dgc package, I have just
taken a look at the dgcmodem-1.13.tar.gz which is the one to be used
for x86_64/amd64 systems.  Trying the simple compile of the drivers,
there was the warning and then fatal  Spin_Lock error shown below.
Likely I can correct the Spin_Lock problem, as we have encountered it
before.   As I am traveling however, it may take a few days before I
further respond.

Even when the compile is succes

Re: Conexant USB ID 0572:1329 Ubuntu Lucid kernel 2.6.32-27-generic

Olemis,

you can try setting  symbplic link:

$ sudo ln -s  /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic/include/linux/config.h
 /usr/src/kernel-headers-3.8.0-19-generic/include/linux/config.h

If the subsequent install works, this step will have to be done once,
upon every kernel upgrade.

Marvin Stodolsky — 2013-05-01T08:50:14

Alex0,

The core problem is that the compile of the drivers is failing.  Among
them, ungrab-winmodem is fairly simply code, so most likely there has
been some change in general compiling machinery causing these
failures.  I am traveling through mid-June and may not be able to help
much.  But I am copying to the Ubuntu maintainer who is more code
proficient than I.

In the meantime I suggest you install the prior linux-mage-Version.deb
+ linux-headers-version.deb, under which the drivers compiled.  Such
older kernels+modules most often do retain functionality aftre a
Distribution upgrade.

Hello Antonio, thanks for your answer. Since you told me I was doing the
correct procedures but maybe the file slamr.ko were not created under the
new kernel , I went back to Ubuntu to check it, and uninstalled everything
concerning to sl-modem drivers. I went setp by step again installing first
the package sl-modem-dkms and this is the output I got in the terminal:

Hi Marvin, thanks for the help, this is the results of what you suggested

I tried
$ sudo dkms Status
the result was this:
sl-modem, 2.9.11~20110321: added

Then I manually unloaded the conflicting drivers with:
$ sudo modprobe -r  snd_atiixp_modem 
$ sudo modprobe -r  snd_via82xx_modem 
$ sudo modprobe -r  snd_intel8x0m 
There was no error output.

Then:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart

The output was this:
Shutting down SmartLink Modem driver normally ... no slmodemd daemon running.
Unloading modem driver from kernel ... none found.

Then I tried:

Onay,

You are doing the correct procedures.  As far as I am concerned.  What
I believe is happening is that sl-modem-* may be conflicting in that
it has slmodemd+Alsa instead of building slamr.ko + ungrab-winmodem.ko
for your system.  In

The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySL0
Distrib_ID=Ubuntu
DistribCodeName=raring


The dkms driver upgrade utilities are installed,

 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files

 Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
  snd_atiixp_modem snd_via82xx_modem snd_intel8x0m   snd_hda_intel

The modem drivers now loaded are, these conflict with slamr.ko and are
conflicting.

Marv,

How could Onay fix this problem via sl-modem-src.deb ?  instead of
compiling slmodem-2.9.11-20*.tar.gz sources?

He is following correct procedure as far as I know.  He has dkms
installed, and is following the directions, unless slamr.ko is not
created with newer kernels?  I have not tested this at this time.

Hi everyone, I need help with a PCI internal Motorola SM-56 Modem. I'm
currently using Ubuntu 13.04 (32 bits) and the modem doesn't work (it does
on other operative systems like Windows). Until Ubuntu 12.10 I was using the
procedure of installing packages sl-modem-source, sl-modem-daemon (also dkms
and dependencies) and after a restart, applications like gnome-ppp, kppp and
wvdial were able to see and use the modem correctly, so it worked fine. Now
with Ubuntu 13.04 I use the same procedure: I install sl-modem source,
sl-modem-daemon, dkms and all the required dependencies, but gnome-ppp (and
also kppp and wvdial) keeps telling me that "There's no modem on your
system", I also tried running gnome-ppp, kppp and wvdial as root, also did
it from the terminal with sudo and gksu commands (it worked fine on previous
versions of Ubuntu like 12.10, otherwise the modem was not recognized by
gnome-ppp or wvdial) but now in 13.04 it doesn't work either, scanmodem says
the modem is there (Windows OS sees and uses the mo

YANNIS,

scanModem reports that your modem would be supported by slamr but on
32 bit linux.  It reports that you have a 64 bit installation:

Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems.  Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97
modem controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the
slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be
installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit
component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes
are x86_64 competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on
x86_64 systems.


If you have 32 bit linux, you can get access to the modem.  For 64 bit
systems, it (the driver) cannot work.

  The code resource you need for compiling agrmodem+agrseial drivers is:
 agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80-20110811.tar.bz2
at:  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
agrsm-tools-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm
may be useful too.

There is no guarantee that these drivers will be effective, because
there have been no updates from LSI (formerly Agere Systems) for many
years.

You will need to install compiling resources. Anthony has a RedHat
