Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 ttySL0<Info>: Cannot get information for serial port. Port Scan<*1>: SL0 Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial? ### Trying to use setserial won't give much better results, it has serious problems trying to access the ttySL0 device, which exists but seems to be unable to reply to queries. Some people report that wvdial 1.53 solves the problem, however I couldn't find that version in portage to confirm. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup alsa, slmodem 2. start slmodemd (successful) 3. wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Actual Results: As above, the modem seems to be unable to handle queries. Expected Results: wvdial should have detected the modem properly. Acer travelmate 292lmi, uses alsa sound with intel8x0 modules.

Same problem as in bug #79913: virtual/os-headers should be linux26-headers. Correct that and re-build glibc, wvstreams and wvdial. Please report here your results.
emerge --unmerge linux-headers emerge linux26-headers emerge glibc emerge wvstreams wvdial And still no-go, same output :/
fixed by net-libs/wvstreams-4.0.1-r1
Confirmed
