OK, I gave it a try and it didn't work
I have a PCTel HSP56 Micromodem PCI (offboard), kernel 2.6.4.
My 'lspci' output, regarding the modem is:
======
01:09.0 Modem: PCTel Inc HSP MicroModem 56 (rev 02)
======
I compiled the driver OK. When I use 'modprobe slamr' everything goes fine.
But when I use the 'slmodemd'...:
# /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=BRAZIL &
error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slamr0': No such device
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slamr0'
[1] 1153
[1] Exit 255 slmodemd --country=BRAZIL
Can anyone "show me the light"?
Thanks for your attention.
