NetoDragon softmodems "56k voice modem" seems to be taking over the market from Motorola's SM56. Here is the installation guide:

Download the latest Linux driver
Assuming that you have downloaded the file to your Windows partiton do the following: cp /path/to/driver/tarball /wherever/you/want cd /wherever/you/wanted tar -zxvf slmodem-2.9.X.tar.gz cd slmodem-2.9.X make su make install modprobe slamr slmodemd -c=YOUR COUNTRY'S NAME &
For the 2.6 kernels you must have the kernel source installed in /usr/src/linux If you are using mandrake do as root: urpmi kernel-source
And Happy surfing

Under the scripts directory,

Under the scripts directory, You'll find init scripts for some distros, On mandrake: cp scripts/mandrake/slmodemd /etc/init.d chkconfig --add slmodemd service slmodemd start

Debian: cp scripts/debian/slmodemd /etc/init.d update-rc.d slmodemd defaults /etc/init.d/slmodemd start

This driver works for my modem: 0000:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03)

Hii everyone,

I'm using mandrvia 10.2,kernel 2.6.11-6mdk, i got a netodragon modem,mdk autodetected it and installed it. but it didnt work.

so i downloaded the tar slmodem2.9.10 and

changed the path in the MAKE file to KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-6mdk

then i made

make

still I get the following msg on boot:

Loading SmartLink Modem driver into kernel ... FATAL:Error inserting slamr (/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk/extra/slamr.ko):Uknown Symbol or parameter /etc/rd5.d/s09slmodemd line34:echofailed Command not found

$lspci | grep Modem

$dmesg | grep slamr

i tried to complie my kernel hoping it could fix anything but it didn't.

how i can fix that?

Thanks in advance to every one

This drivers doesn't works with kernel >= 2.6.10.

Try to modify the file drivers/amrmo_init.c: find: MODULE_LICENSE("Smart Link Ltd."); and replace with: MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

near the line 740, find:


if (!pci_register_driver(&amrmo_pci_driver)) {
                             pci_unregister_driver(&amrmo_pci_driver);
                         #ifndef OLD_KERNEL
                             class_simple_destroy(amrmo_class);
                         #endif
                             return -ENODEV;
                            }

and replace with: pci_register_driver(&amrmo_pci_driver);

now save and type: make, as root type make install, modprobe slamr, /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=YOURCOUNTRY /dev/slamr0

the response will be similar to:


symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/3' created.
modem `slamr0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/3'

Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

now your modem device will be: /dev/ttySL0 Try it, but I'm not sure.

It worked ,thx :)

Hi,thanks so much it worked.

i had to clean the files of the old makes then made the modifications (ofcourse i'd wish to get to know how these modifications made it work ;) but i'm not gonna be heavy)thx it worked.

it's just sometimes slamr0 gives me device busy message ,so i must find out when and why does it do so although no error happens , i even shutdown the service ,start it again but still device is busy. and the country is usa though i tried to convince him using country=EGYPT that its not ,but it never works!
