Slmodem, slusb problem.

firewalker · 2008-01-19 16:46:32

I was using slmodem without problems for quite some time now. Few days ago a new version 2.9.11.37. I am using kernel 2.6.21-viper so I am compiling my own packets... After compiling and installing the new packet I couldn't use my modem. I am able to load lsusb module without problem but /etc/rc.d/slmodem doesn't creates the correct devices... starting slmodem daemon it says

:: Starting SL-Modem Drivers
error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb0': No such device or address
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb0'

and fails. Under /dev/ I can see a device called slusb0. If I manually give the command slmodemd --country=GREECE /dev/slusb0 I have exactly the same error.

error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb0': No such device or address
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb0'

With lsmod I can see that slusb is loaded

slusb                  15716  0
usbcore              115976  9 slusb,hci_usb,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd,uhci_hcd,gspca,ftdi_sio,usbserial

dmesg says

Under /dev/bus/usb/002/ I can see a device name 0xx where xx is an number starting from 02 and goes bigger by 1 every time I reload slusb module or reconnecting the modem. If I give the command slmodemd --country=GREECE /dev/bus/usb/002/0xx it says

SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Jan 19 2008 17:00:09
error: cannot find group 'uucp': Success
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL140' -> `/dev/pts/2' created.
modem `013' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/2'
Use `/dev/ttySL140' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

The modem seems to work fine under /dev/dev/ttySL1xx. The biggest problem is that the devices created doesn't have a constant name...

Any suggestions? Reinstalling the previous version installed had exactly the same effect. I also tried the new version 20070813, but the same thing. I also booted with the stock kernel, and installed the stock packets but again...
