Smartlink not allowing the device to be mounted


I have connected a USB 56k modem by Trust to an Asus laptop. As found on the net, it can be driven by means of the Smartlink modules (my kernel is 2.6.16, on distro SuSE 10.1).

So I compiled the packages, but while the serial module is not found (and that's OK, the modem being USB), the USB doesn't seem to bring problems. Though, the /dev/slusb0 device is not mounted:

Quote:
Xabaras:/usr/bin # modprobe slamr
FATAL: Module slamr not found.
Xabaras:/usr/bin # modprobe slusb
Xabaras:/usr/bin # slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb0
error: mdm setup: cannot stat `/dev/slusb0': No such file or directory
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb0'
If I try to reach the result by the ALSA drive (as also suggested):

Quote:
Xabaras:/usr/bin # slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb0 --alsa
error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2111snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/slusb0
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device '/dev/slusb0': No such file or directory
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb0'
Can anybody please give suggestions?

Thank you for your suggestion.

However, have you got any reference for such documentation (I mean, just what am I supposed to look for?)
