Damn... gotta find something else to bitch about.
I've been complaining about not being able to find a copy of the slamr.ko module which is needed to drive the winmodem in my Thinkpad X30.
Never did find one but I found a solution... much better too.
Having spent two days on this project and googling at least 20 times for "slamr Suse" and such, I finally came across someone who tried a different approach, and although in what I read he still had a minor problem, I thought I would give it a go.
The old solution was to:
modprobe slamr slmodemd &
where slamr was the module that access the hardware (low-level) and slmodemd is the piece that provides the high-level functions of the modem.
The solution (at least for me?)
modprobe snd-intel8x0m slmodemd -alsa -c USA hw:1 &
which accomplishes the same thing and is used in the same fashion. Works like a charm.
Hi Bruce. I seem to be having problems finding that slmodemd. I can't find it on the 10.1 download CD set nor on the repository. There is also reference to ftp.smlink.com, but that currently doesn't work. Can you point me to where I can find it? Or failing that, email it to me? tnx jk
