Package: sl-modem-daemon Version: 2.9.9a-1 Severity: important
Hello, I'm talking about a Samsung P28 laptop with an ATI IXP winmodem (PCI id = 1002:434d) This modem is reported to work with slmodem. I've been spending a whole day to understand why I was always getting a NO CARRIER error when trying to dial ATDTXXXX... The most common source of error is the "Carrier Detect = no" option in wvdial, but this had no effect for me. I discovered that I had to start slmodemd with the following options to be able to communicate with the modem: slmodemd --alsa -c COUNTRY modem:1 instead of: slmodemd --alsa -c COUNTRY hw:1 This uses the snd_atiixp-modem modules, and doesn't need the slamr module. I found this information in the README file of slmodem package (line 228), and using the "modem:0" naming scheme is MANDATORY for ATI IXP modems. So maybe for alsa >= 1.0.6, "hw" should be replaced with "modem" in the init script, provided this works with other modems. Otherwise, the modem type should be detected.
