Hi All, I've been bashing my head on this one for a few days. I have a HP NC6230 lappy with a built-in modem: $lspci | grep -i modem 0000:00:1e.3 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03)
Apparently that requires the sl-modem stuff. No problem. $apt-cache search sl-modem sl-modem-daemon - SmartLink software modem daemon sl-modem-source - SmartLink software modem driver - module building source Hmm - so far so good. Do an "apt-get update" then: $sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. *snip* The following packages have unmet dependencies: sl-modem-daemon: Depends: sl-modem-modules-new but it is not installable E: Broken packages Not so good. So I try the source and install "sl-modem-source". But that package appears to be a branch that should be inserted into a full kernel source. Bah! How do I compile this?? So as a last resort, I get the source file from smartlink and compile that. Only two warnings during the "make install" stage: /home/myuid/src/slmodem-2.9.10/drivers/st7554.c:1112: \ warning: implicit declaration of function `usb_endpoint_halted' ... *** Warning: "usb_endpoint_halted" [/home/myuid/src/slmodem-2.9.10/drivers/slusb.ko] undefined! First one isn't a big deal, but the second one looks ominous. When it comes around to inserting the module: $sudo modprobe slamr FATAL: Error inserting slamr (/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/extra/slamr.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) And here's dmesg: slamr: Unknown symbol get_device slamr: Unknown symbol put_device slamr: Unknown symbol device_release_driver Hmmm, so I tried the other module: $sudo modprobe slusb FATAL: Error inserting slusb (/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/extra/slusb.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) $dmesg | tail ... slusb: Unknown symbol usb_endpoint_halted Surprise, surprise. So any ideas folks? The Ubuntu package is broken, the source package is in a form I haven't encountered before (any assistance here would be helpful) and the source from the vendor wont compile properly! Argh!! Anyone solved this one before? Cheers, James -- I disagree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to tell such LIES!
