Hi Folks
I have an internal modem in my laptop which I want to use as a fallback link when my main inet link goes down, I am on a sat feed due to my location. lspci id's it as : Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03)
I have done searchs on google but see nothing that helps

Hi Sean, may be you could try the following. 1. Using smart (i don't see it with yast), with the add-on channel installed, or by other means, fetch a package called "smartlink-softmodem-kmp-X", where X stands for "default", "smp" or "bigsmp". If you have only once processor, try the first. The actual version is 2.9.10 2. Once installed, try this, as root: modprobe snd-intel8x0m slmodemd -alsa -c COUNTRY hw:1 & where COUNTRY is your country (duh..) You can get the exact spelling with this command: /usr/sbin/slmodemd --countrylist (and the country name is in CAPS) You should have your modem working OK, and i thank BTW the kind person who gave this hint first in this list, as this works fine for me too :-) These commands are typed as root, and only as root i can kppp correctly. Still, there is this resource as another possible step: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ Good luck, and please tell if it worked :-) PatrickM -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
