This bug persists into Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, but it seems to have changed slightly.
When the slusb module is loaded on my computer, I get these lines in my dmesg: -- ST7554 USB Modem. -- usbcore: registered new interface driver ST7554 USB Modem The /dev/slusb0 device node is created, but it is improperly hooked to the actual hardware. If you can get the direct bus address from `lsusb -v` or a similar program, then you can manually start slmodemd like this: $ sudo -i # ulimit -l 8192 # /usr/sbin/slmodemd -d /dev/bus/usb/002/002 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Mar 22 2010 23:11:18 <677.757945> SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Mar 22 2010 23:11:18 <677.758157> 002: startup modem... <677.759501> 002: update termios... symbolic link `/dev/ttySL129' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `002' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' <677.759650> open file: /var/lib/slmodem/data.002... <677.764930> main: rt applyed: SCHED_FIFO, pri 99 <677.765158> main: dropped privileges to 127.118 Use `/dev/ttySL129' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. The "/dev/bus/usb/002/002" parameter will be different on your computer. This works on my computer running the 32-bit i386 build, but 64-bit amd64 is incompatible on the same computer because the sl-modem-source package is missing. -- no more /dev/ttySL0 device node https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375148 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
