Re: Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit modem problems.

Hello

My modem is a SM56 data/fax by Motorola. I have been trying to get it
set up so I can send and receive faxes. I found some information about
slamr(kernal) but I can't seem to find any more info.

I have downloaded slamr-2.6.27-11-generic with the install instructions.
Every time I try to install it I get a bunch of errors and it doesn't
work. I downloaded slamr-2.6.27-7-generic and booted my system with
kernal 2.6.27-7 and I get an error message that I need the 64bit
version. I did a google search and couldn't find any 64 bit modem drivers.

As far as I understand, slamr is a closed-source 32-bit only driver.
Since you have a 64-bit kernel, you need a 64-bit driver, thus this one
won't work (this is what the message
FATAL: Error inserting ungrab_winmodem
(/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/extra/ungrab-winmodem.ko): Invalid
module format
means). You may be able to use 64-bit windows drivers with ndiswrapper
but I wouldn't bet anything...

Sorry,

Loïc
