modem 82801DB AC and kernel 2.6.11 up-4GB

| Dear all,
I install Mandriva 2005 on my laptop with (win)modem 82801DB AC from
agere/intel (not clear). The kernel is 2.6.11 up-4GB.
Installed the smartlink drivers from Mandriva Cd's, KPPP test system find
the modem and seem to work well... but:
If I try the conennction the modem seem to be off.
Any tentative to change the language of the slmodemd (in italian) are
frustrate.
The harddrake do not find any modem in the hardware.
The same modem with mdk 10.1 work!
Some idea?
Thank you in advance
Valter

That's an Intel ICH4 chipset. It could have one of several modem chips
attached. Many of them get detected as a Smartlink but are actually
something else. At least, that has happened to me twice and in both
cases the modem was actually a Conexant HSF.
The symptom is that the AT commands seem to work but the modem will not
dial or make any noise. You might want to visit these URL's to verify
what kind of modem you really have:
This one has a tool to identify your modem and links to various
drivers. Go there first to verify what you really have:

This one has a commercial driver for the Conexant HCF/HSF modems. It is
well worth the $15 if you have one of those:

| Thank you for the info.
The modem seem to be an AGERE AC97 modem.
I installed the SmartLink drivers from Mandriva CD (specific for the kernel)
but during the tests some are wrong.
# slmodemd -v
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.10 Apr 5 2005 16:42:44
seems OK! but:
# slmodemd -country=ITALY
error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slamr0': Device or resource busy
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slamr0'
????????
Using KPPP the init procedure start but reach in any case: no dial tone!
Thaks again

Try;
modprobe snd-intel8x0m
slmodemd --alsa

Did a bit of checking, this builds cleanly on the generic 2.6.12.5
kernel.
Visit; http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
Download; slmodem-2.9.9e-pre2.tar.gz (30-Jul-2005 23:08 786k)
And build according to the directions found in the README file starting
at ALSA mode section. As root copy the modem_test and slmodemd files to
where your current slmodemd driver resides (# locate slmodemd).
Then try;
modprobe snd-intel8x0m
slmodemd --alsa --country=ITALY
