How to install Smartlink Modem drivers
From README
Introduction: This is Smart Link Soft Modem for Linux version 2.9. It provides full-featured 56K Voice Fax Modem. This is implemented as generic application (slmodemd) and set of hardware specific kernel-space drivers (slamr, slusb). ALSA modem drivers may be used instead of proprietary ones (see ALSA mode). Features: Modem: V.92, V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.23, V.22, V.21, Bell 103/212. Flow control: V.42. Compression: V.44, V.42bis. Fax: Class 1. Voice: V253 like modem. Multiple modems are supported. Supported Hardware: HAMR5600 based AMR/CNR/MDC/ACR modem cards on the following Southbridge chips: - Intel ICH0,ICH2, ICH3, ICH4 - Via 686A, 686B, 8231, 8233 - SiS 630 - ALI 1535. SmartPCI56/561/562/563 based PCI modem cards. SmartUSB56 based USB modem. ALSA has the built-in modem drivers included in 'alsa-driver' >= 1.0.2 and in Linux kernel. Currently there is 'intel8x0m' (snd-intel8x0m) modem driver, which supports ICH based AC97 modems (MC97). Recent 'alsa-driver' (>=1.0.6) has also support for NVidia NForce (snd-intel8x0m) and ATI IXP (snd-atiixp-modem) based modems.
Installation
Install slmodemAUR from the AUR.
Configuration of "normal modem"
In /etc/rc.conf:
- Add ppp_generic, slamr or slusb to modules list
- Add slmodem daemon list
/etc/conf.d/slmodem:
- Modify to your needs especially
/dev/slamr0 #(depends on your chipset slamr' or 'slusb')
--country=USA #(See output of 'slmodemd --countrylist')
Configuration of "Alsa Modems" (Alsa Mode)
/etc/rc.conf:
- Add ppp_generic and snd_intel8x0m modules list
- Add slmodem-alsa to daemon list
/etc/conf.d/slmodem-alsa:
- Modify to your needs especially
--country=USA #(See output of 'slmodemd --countrylist')
IMPORTANT: It is possible that you have to add an additional device entry. A useful "detector" is command aplay -l which shows the list of existing ALSA devices with a description.
- add one of the following: hw:0,hw:1,modem:0 or modem:1
to /etc/conf.d/slmodem-alsa at the end of the SLMODEM_ARGS line!
eg.: SLMODEM_ARGS"--country=USA --alsa hw:1"
The modem device is called /dev/ttySL0 and is symlinked to /dev/modem if you use udev.
3. NOTE:
If pppd quits with an ERROR 1 just after connection, change auth to noauth
in /etc/ppp/options or use the call option (see the pppd manpage).
wvdial requires option 'Carrier Check = no' in config file
If you do not want to set the permissions of your modem you "can" set /usr/bin/pppd setuid but this may be a security risk, you have been warned!!!
