Yes, tried the modprobe.

   # modprobe slamr

And, the module installed all right.

An lsmod gives:

Module                  Size  Used by
slamr                 435752  0
radeon                 76609  1
drm                    70101  2 radeon
etc.

Still, it doesn't work.

[root@localhost slmodem-2.9.11-20051101]# /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=3DUS=
A
/dev/slamr0
error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slamr0': No such device
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slamr0

I had even done a chmod 666 /dev/slamr0


Very frustrating.

But, thanks for the help.

Maybe I'll have to try something like the "ungrab-winmodem" package. . . .
