The problem is in the kernells from 2.4.8 to 2.4.14/16/17 becouse I've been using this kernells and report that issue. Modem run good on older kernells 2.4.1 to 2.4.5 last is standard for my distribution Slackware 8.0. But on newer kernels like 2.4.8 - newest 2.4.17 the driver doesn't work maby this is becouse new memory architecture. I don't really know what is the problem but problem lays in newer kernels . Driver is a closed source drv in program which is making a module cold sm56.o after typed command. Motorola says the driver is fully functional and they can't help me becouse company discounted from softmodem buisness. And the driver only works on kernels 2.4.xx . But the drivers works fine on oldre kernells why on newer they doesn't ? The kernel developers/hackers are the only pepole which could help me and other users of this modem. Please send me solution or patch for this issue on my email riot777@skrzynka.pl Help me please maby somebody could tell this Marcelo Tossati , maby anybody can do some patch ??? Maby is somebody in community who could help me pleez I'm in despair.
