I have created a module for slmodem on slax. It is not working as well as the martian, but it works after a few modifications. When the module is activated, it complains that the module slamr.(ko) was not found. Then if one as a user tries the following, it works, I tried to automate it like the martian_modem, but it is not working as well as it should. if you run dmesg and see # dmesg look for slamr: module license 'Smart Link Ltd.' taints kernel. slamr: SmartLink AMRMO modem. slamr: device 163c:3052 is grabbed by another driver device 163c:3052 is grabbed by driver serial: try to release then you have to run # depmod -a check for slamr.ko, slusb.ko and ungrab-winmodem.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.24/extra root@slax:~# ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.24/extra/ total 571 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 554688 Mar 16 04:03 slamr.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22272 Mar 16 04:03 slusb.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6968 Mar 16 04:03 ungrab-winmodem.ko root@slax:~# # modprobe ungrab-winmodem # modprobe slamr # slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0 if the above commands do not get it going, we need to do the following and retry the above commands # mkdir -p /dev/ # mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 then try kppp with device /dev/ttySL0 and/or wvdial I will post how to determine if modem is supported by slamr and how the above module will help users get their smartlink modem working on slax. wvdial.conf needs to look like root@slax:/tmp# cat /etc/wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = 7072000 ISDN = 0 Username = your_username ; Init1 = ATZ Password = your_password Modem = /dev/ttySL0 Baud = 460800 Carrier Check = no Stupid Mode = yes ; Auto DNS = yes root@slax:/tmp# cat /etc/resolv.conf search example.net nameserver 66.201.0.203 nameserver 66.94.120.9 I will try to post a better howto in thread Dialup Modem - Howto Slax.
