Setting to confirmed since it was reported to me (via email) by upstream
maintainer who said: So far as I have been able to assess, almost no one
has a modem serviceable under Jaunty, using the 2.6.28 series kernels.
** Description changed:
Hello,
This issue was first reported to me by one of sl-modem upstream
maintainers, that SmartLink modems are not usable on Jaunty in ALSA mode.
A user was able to use the modem on Jaunty after compiling linux kernel
2.6.28-686 from Debian.
+
+ The problem is as follows, sl-modem does detect the modem and one can
+ dial the number (using wvdial), but the connection does not get
+ established ! When I picked up a phone connected to the same line to
+ listen what's going on, I hear a only beginning of a handshake, but it
+ does not complete the handshake.
Some background:
The SmartLink modem daemon (provided by sl-modem-daemon package) is the
application part of the driver for recent modems produced by Smart Link Ltd. It
needs a kernel driver to access the hardware. Which can be recent ALSA (shipped
with a newer kernel (>=2.6.4) with Alsa support and intel8x0m module) which is
sufficient for basic operation and data/Internet connection.
So, in ALSA mode, snd-hda-intel is the module used by sl-modem daemon.
