Intel 536EP/537 new driver

Philippe Vouters — 2012-05-13T18:27:13

Dear everyone,

The problems corrected are the following:
1/ The driver failed to compile under 3.3.4 kernel.
2/ Worked upon kernel oops.

Now both $ efax -vewinchmart and $ stty -F /dev/modem -a work correctly 
without any kernel oops. This has been tested with a 536EP modem.

Because we switched to VoIP for cost reasons, I am unable to test with 
wvdial, kppp, hylafax, minicom. If someone is willing to make tests, his 
feedback remains welcomed. Also if someone else is owning a 537EP modem, 
I'd be glad to hear from.

Yours truly,

New Case Only

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt


Modem support packages from Linuxant include resources for compiling drivers.  
If an installer package matching your kernel_version  is not provided,
just install a generic code package.

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k3.0.0_19_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.
 
 The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above procedures are not adequate.

Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php to find the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux distros, there are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have within the FileName,
your KernelVersion:3.0.0_19_generic
They can be found through http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php 
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not found, one of the 
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the page must be used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition (home folder is OK)
and unzipped with:
unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm permission:
  sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
  rpm -i hsf*.rpm

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
 linux-headers-3.0.0-19-generic


If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

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

For 2.6.32-220.el6.i686 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt

================

Download:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20110321.tar.gz

and

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz

extract with
$ tar -zxvf slmodem-2.9.11-20110321.tar.gz
and
$ tar -zxvf ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz

then run
$ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20110321/
$ make KERNEL_VER=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
$ make
$ su -c 'make install'
passwd:
then
$ cd ..
$ cd ungrab-winmodem
$ su -c 'make'
passwd:
$ su -c 'make install'

if compilation succeeded, then proceed to load module(s), ie.,
$ su -
passwd:
# modprobe ungrab-winmodem
# modprobe slamr
# slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY /dev/slamr0

leave it running and then open a terminal tab or another terminal and type
$ su -
passwd:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

and hopefully it finds modem port /dev/ttySL0 and then proceed to edit
the file /etc/wvdial.conf with root priviledges and add your username,
password and a line "Carrier Check = no" to the file, save it and then
run
# wvdial

Hopefully you can connect to internet.

Regards,


Antonio

Shawn,

Please send to the whole Discuss list, as others way beneficially contribute.
If we are to help, we need the whole Log of the modem negotiation.
We have certainly encountered IPs whose CONNECT protocols seem Linux hostile.
But more detail is needed in your case.

Shawn,

When the call has to go through some type of switching sysem,
inserting a comma in the phone number implements a 1 sec pause, for
each comma.  So try something like:
1,,888,xxxxxxx,n  to provide 1 or sec pauses at places which may be useful.

I'd really appreciate if you can help me with full duplex voice and the

Thanks.

Because Skype is not open source (and I can't play with my custom 
function) and I have to pay to call and receive on the traditional phone 
line. Many people use modem through vgetty to have an answering machine 
so I thought it was easy! Hope that someone will help me! Apart from my 
"game" it can be really useful for many function if I learn well how to 
use it and, of course, when my job is done I'll share my script/sources 
to everyone.

(ex. of useful function:
call recording,
playing sounds through the traditional line (which I already can do)
calling people through the computer's addressbook and use a normal 
headphone and microfone to speak
create a complete pbx without needing VoIP
et cetera...)

If you don't have time to help me, I'll understand, but I'm sure it can 
make interesting thinks...

(And the think that makes me crazy is that I miss just two easy AT 
commands, maybe!)

Thanks anyway.
Cheers,
Stefano

If your major interest is Voice, why not install SKYPE, for which the
related problems have already been worked out?  Members of this List
have been interested in Internet CONNECTs, and have not played with
the ordinary phone angle.  You are on your own in that arena.

I already tried wvdial, but it seems to be just for ip connection on 
internet (which i really don't need).

I'm using slmodemd since the first time, the config file has the same 
arguments you suggested me (except for the country one because I'm in 
Italy so it's "-c ITALY")

Why should i use chatscript? Can't I go on with "minicom" and 'echo -en 
"ATCOMMAND\r" > /dev/ttySL0 && read -t1 < /dev/ttySL0 && echo "$REPLY"'?

Re: Re: At commands

Marvin Stodolsky — 2012-04-25T02:09:38

After (if necessary)
# modprobe snd-intel8x0m
activate your modem with:
#  slmodemd -c USA --alsa  modem:1

You could setup a chatscript to manage the dialout,
wherein you could put the line:
Carrier check = no
Search out the documentation on chatscript usage.

If you can install the wvdialconf package, a good first sanity test
(with slmodemd left running) is
# wvdialconf
which should report finding the modem.
# wvdial
is what we recommend for managing routine IP CONNECTs for Internet usage.

Support type needed or chipset:slmodemd

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-intel8x0m
 provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
 For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
 complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:  slmodemd

 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ 
 the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.5_alsa1.0.24.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
 $ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.5_alsa1.0.24.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
  slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number

The ModemData.txt wasn't attached.

Also just noticed your platform is x86_64 AMD
while snd-intel8x0m will work, slamr cannot be used because it has a
precompiled 32 bit component

Here's my ModemData.txt

I don't need the whole set of AT commands, just the one who disable the 
carrier detecting, the full duplex audio transmission and the "stop 
receiving" code...

The first one is optional because if I wanna make a call, I can just 
record the number's tone and make a script to call them in the right 
order from the number... But it's a un-fency solution...

Send to the List (not me), the ModemData.txt file output when you run
./scanModem

With respect to the AT commands, many drivers under Linux do not have
the full AT set implemented.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to make my modem work as phone but I found a lot of issue:

I don't know the AT command to stop AT+VRX.

Don't know how to do full duplex:
(if i use AT+VTX+VRX it let me just send, AT+VRX+VTX just receive)

Need a full AT command list but really don't know where to find it after 
hours and hours of research...

When i try to call someone:
AT+FCLASS=8\r
AT+VLS=1\r
ATD <NUMBER>;\r (or ATD<NUMBER>\r)
It starts calling, but if i give ANY command it tells me: "NO CARRIER" 
and stop calling... I don't know how to disable carrier detection and 
ATS10=255 doesn't work. (Even some other commands i tried [AT&C0/1] etc...)

I'm really going mad!

This type of error, I don't recall.
It likely is specific to your hardware setup,
and is beyond my capability to help.

Sorry

Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

Denis,

Motorola has never provided support for its modems under Linux.
The slamr support for the SM56 modem could not be predicted.
Rather, a test was run and luckily it worked fairly well under the old
2.4 series kernels.  But as the Linux code has evolved, there has been
nothing we can do in the Closed Source component of the code, to
optimize service.

If you have no other CONNECT choice but the modem, your best option is
to buy a Controller Chipset (so called hardware) modem, which have
Open Source drivers fully supported under Linux.  Read the DOCs ouput
by scanModem for details.
