Ciao a tutti sono un neofila linux,
mi trovo d'avanti all'installazione dei driver per un modem 56k compatibile Kernel 2.4-2.6
l'unica cosa che sono riouscito a fare e cxopiarmi la cartella linux(dal cd del modem) contenente i driver e, una guida all'installazione(in inglese e che fa riferimento al kernel...che per me è arabo!)
posto il readme
codice:
Installation
============

1. Unpack tar.gz package file:

	$ gzip -dc slmodem-2.9.X.tar.gz | tar xf -

2. 'cd' to package directory:

	$ cd slmodem-2.9.X

3. Review and edit 'Makefile' (if need):

   In many cases you will need to correct path to your local kernel
   source tree:

        KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/linux

   Default KERNEL_DIR is '/lib/modules/<kerne-version>/build'. Many Linux
   Distributions use directory '/usr/src/linux-<version>' also.

   Note: If you are using Linux kernel 2.4, only header files should be
         available for build in $(KERNEL_DIR)/include

   Another way to pass right value KERNEL_DIR is to use command line
   parameter while running 'make':

        $ make KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/linux ...

4. Run 'make' command to compile package:

	$ make

5. Install. As 'root' user run:

	# make install

   It will install:

   - application 'slmodemd' under '/usr/sbin' directory

   - hardware specific drivers (kernel modules) 'slamr' and 'slusb'
     under conventional kernel modules directory

   - character device nodes '/dev/slamr0-3' with major number 212
     (for pci modems) and '/dev/slusb0-3' with major number 213
     (for usb modems).

   - config modules for autoloading (by editing file '/etc/modules.conf')
     (only with 2.4 kernels)

6. Config modem country.

   Use AT+GCI=<T.35 country code> command to setup country.

   Also you can setup default modem country by passing command line
   parameter '--country=MY_COUNTRY' to program 'slmodemd'.

   See output of 'slmodemd --countrylist' for a list of supported
   country names and T.35 country codes (see also 'slmodemd --help').

   Note: Command ATI7 shows currently installed country setting.

8. Uninstallation.

   In package directory just type:

	# make uninstall


Getting Started
===============

After successful installation and configuration:

1. Load modem driver.

   Load your modem hardware specific kernel module:

	# modprobe slamr

   if you are using AMR/CNR/PCI modem, or

	# modprobe slusb

   if you are using SmartUSB56 Modem.

   Note: this will be done automatically when modules were
         configured for 'loading on demand'

   Note: this is safe to load both 'alamr' and 'slusb' modules.

2. Run soft modem application.

       # /usr/sbin/slmodemd [options] <device_name>

   Where device name is appropriate device node for your modem
   (look at output of 'dmesg' command).
   Run '/usr/sbin/slmodemd --help' for details.

   Examples:

       # /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=USA /dev/slamr0

   , or for SmartUSB56 Modems:

       # /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb0

3. Using the modem.

   When 'slmodemd' is running this creates PTY (pseudo-terminal) to
   emulate modem port device, also this creates symbolic link
   like '/dev/ttySL0' (shown at startup).

   Config your application to use this link '/dev/ttySL0' (or PTY node
   itself) as modem port.

   Note: Some application want 'to know' that they are working with
         pseudo-terminal and may require additional configurations.

   Known application notes:

   - 'wvdial' requires option 'Carrier Check = no' in config file

   - some versions of 'kppp' may not work properly with devices named
     like '/dev/ttySL0'. To workaround this you may create symbolic link
     '/dev/modem' ( # ln -s /dev/ttySL0 /dev/modem ) and use this link
     as modem device with 'kppp'

   - some pci modem devices are declared as COMMUNICATION_MODEM class and
     might be caught by other standard drivers - you will see "grabbed
     by another driver" warning in dmesg buffer. There is no good way to
     "release" it, but as silly workaround you may use 'ungrab-winmodem'
     pseudo-driver from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink.
     Note that you should load it before 'slamr' module.
     

4. Startup automation.

    There are examples of startup scripts in 'scripts' directory.
...spero che siate così gentili da poter aiutarmi, grazie in anticipo.
