Nick,
There is a conflict within, there are two competing drivers namely the
snd_hda one vs slamr. The one loaded is the slamr one :(, which does
not server the modem. From scanModem output:
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1e.3:
Modem chipset detected on

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_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz having a compiled
slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
There is a program called sl-modem-daemon and sl-modem-? search for
them, but they apparently should be loaded. You may try
$ sudo modprobe -r slamr
and
$ sudo modproe -r snd_intel8x0m
reload last one
$ sudo modprobe snd_intel8x0m
and then try
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1
leave it running and from another terminal attempt to connect via wvdial
$ sudo wvdial
and hopefully this time it will connect. Let us know if this makes
the modem work.
Regards,
Antonio
