In file /usr/portage/net-dialup/slmodem/files/slmodem-2.9.11.init if [ ! -c "${MDEV}" ]; then mknod ${MDEV} c 242 0; fi should now be: if [ ! -c "${MDEV}" ]; then mknod ${MDEV} c 243 0; fi
Why? Who changed the device? What's your problem exactly?
/dev/slusb0 was not well created, and I was digging for possibile problem, and found: Gentoo ~ # cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 /dev/vc/0 4 tty 4 ttyS 5 /dev/tty 5 /dev/console 5 /dev/ptmx 7 vcs 10 misc 13 input 14 sound 21 sg 29 fb 81 video4linux 108 ppp 116 alsa 128 ptm 136 pts 180 usb 189 usb_device 195 nvidia 243 slusb mknod was useing 242 an major number, but I found that it is 243, and edit my /etc/init.d/slmodem file. Later, in Changelog for slmodem I found: * Version 2.9.11 - Off-hook with mixer (ALSA mode) - device major numbers change, (212 -> 242, 213 -> 243) - support for HSP1688 PCI modem - misc compatibility fixes - misc improvements So device major number should be 243 from now on. I am sory about my shortness, and bad english...
Much more clear now. ;)
To be exact, the device major number depend on the module: 242 -> slamr 243 -> slusb But, isn't the device created by the udev the moment you load slusb module?
Created attachment 97689 [details] slmodem init script Please try this slmodem init script and tell me if it worked for you.
Works fine. Don't know about slamr.
fixed in cvs and bumped to slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101-r2.
